APUSH- is using a pen necessary?

<p>So this is pretty much self explanitory from the title. My teacher and the sparknotes review book says that we should use a pen. However I prefer to use a pencil because it is much easier to go back and edit after the essay. What do you guys think, will I be graded down if I choose to use pencil?</p>

<p>They will not read it if it’s not in pen!!!</p>

<p>You MUST use a pen. Period.</p>

<p>No i dont think it lowers your score, however the readers to get pretty ****ed off when they see it so i mean i would want to keep the people grading my essays happy. Better to use a pen but using a pencil isnt like the end of the world.</p>

<p>Must be in pen.</p>

<p>dude, just use a *****ing pen</p>

<p>I hate writing in pen. It makes my handwriting sloppier because I’m weird.</p>
