<p>I have a question.
Can we use those erasable papermate pens on the essay? I was thinking yes, but on the box it says not to use on official documents because the ink becomes permanent over time.</p>
<p>Has anyone done so? (I thought it was a great idea)
How did it turn out?</p>
<p>I think you must use pencil on the SAT essay.</p>
<p>i dont think so</p>
<p>The graders read from a scanned copy of your essay, not the original. So if there's any chance of the scanner not picking up your pen marks, then I wouldn't risk it.</p>
<p>has anyone actually written an SAT essay with an erasable pen who can answer for this?</p>
<p>no, becuase no one wants to lose their scores. the scanner is set to pick up on a number 2 pencil. you would be crazy to test it by using a pen.</p>
<p>wow, my brain just farted.</p>
<p>I got totally confused between AP testing and SAT testing. In AP world you use a pen for the essay and a pencil for the scantron...</p>
<p>SORRY</p>
<p>lol, yeah. the essay is scanned just like the scantron.</p>
<p>you use pencil for the essay.</p>
