<p>Hey guys!</p>

<p>How big of an impact does it make if I used a really dark pen on the FRQ and DBQ for APUSH and my pen's ink was pretty prominent on both sides of the paper when I wrote. I know Collegeboard first scans our essays and then gives it to the graders.... so like will the pen bleeding through have an impact of the scanned copy and the legibility of my paper? If so, how badly will my grade be impacted /:</p>

<p>I know for a fact, since I have a friend with bad writing, that your score will not be lowered because it is illegible. The readers have to make the most effort they can to read it. If it is completely illegible, they can’t score it. However, unless your pen literally bled circles onto the paper, I don’t think you’ll have a problem. That paper is pretty tough. :)</p>
