This one glides smooth across paper and reduces my hand cramping. Sounds silly but every little advantage helps. Anyone else experiment with pens?

You can also buy refill lead in red. I used that on my second pass through on notes.

I use the pilot G2 limited gel pen extra fine. Oh I love how neat my notes look. lol I agree though, If you are going to spend time writing, cheap ink pens or cheap pencils will be another excuse not to study. I have blue, black, and red refillable pilot G2 limited pens. I also use the pentel click pencils when doing mcq's. I really despise the dry erase deals they use at the test site. Why can't we just use plain old pencil and paper.

I also use different color pens. Its funny this was posted today because I just bough a 12 pack of pens. My girl friend keeps on steeling my purple pen so I got a whole box of these:

https://www.amazon.com/Pilot-Retractable-Premium-Roller-Extra/dp/B00006JNJ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1384125769&sr=8-2&keywords=Pilot+G2+Retractable+Premium+Gel+Ink+Roller+Ball+Pens%2C+Fine+Point%2C+Purple+Ink

(the purple ones)

I picked it based on the amazon reviews, but looks we have some fans here as well!

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

I used Pentel Energel Liquid Gel Ink .07 with a metal tip. I bought my own pens like this for work 🙂 …Oh in purple ink too. Love adding some color to my work!
