<p>Odd question.</p>
<p>Just wondering.</p>
<p>Obviously for the mathematic-related subjects, you should use a pencil... but what about, say, an english essay?</p>
<p>I write essays in pen and take quizzes/tests (non-writing portions) in pencil.</p>
<p>Pencil unless the teacher tells us to use pen. For in class essays in AP Lang and AP World History the teachers ask that we use pen. </p>
<p>Pen for anything non-multiple choice.</p>
<p>Writing in pencil really annoys me.</p>
<p>Always pencil unless teacher requires essays to be written in pen.</p>
<p>In college, I use pencils for pretty much every quiz/test. For papers that aren’t exams, and most homework (esp. math), I usually type them.</p>
<p>Pencil master race</p>
<p>Pen, to the chagrin of some of my teachers.</p>
<p>Always pen except for multiple choice tests and math. For math tests, I write in mechanical pencil. </p>
<p>Always pencil. Always. I stopped using pens once my 8th grade teacher chastised me for using one, and I found out that I really like using mechanical pencils better. It improves my handwriting and they write easier. I only use pen if my teacher tells me to.</p>
<p>pencil. always.</p>
<p>Pen for tests (History+English) because my teachers require them
Essys are in pen
Everything else pencil (which is what I prefer) </p>
<p>Depends.
If I have my nice fountain pen with me, I write with that LOL.
Unless my teacher tells me to write in pencil that is.</p>
<p>I used pencils on tests and typed any take-home assignments. I used to like pens better, but I would always either make a lot of mistakes or get ink on my hands.</p>
<p>I use pen for everything that isn’t on a scantron. I like pen.</p>
<p>Pencil for math and science courses, pen for all the others. </p>
<p>Mechanical pencils for everything… Then I can erase and rewrite my answers when I mess up. 
</p>
<p>Pen unless I’m doing math. The confidence is real 
</p>
<p>Last year I used pen in almost every class, even math (unless it required a pencil because scantron) since I kept forgetting to bring a pencil. Now, however, I use a pencil unless required. </p>
<p>Pen for English and history. Mechanical pencil for everything else.</p>
<p>Pen for everything, feels so smooth when it glides across the paper.</p>
