<p>So I know that we have to bring 2B pencils, and an eraser, but do we have to bring a pen for the essay? And is it OK if the essay was written in pencil, or does it have to be written in pen?</p>

<p>No pen required.</p>
<p>i wouldn’t worry 
when i took it, the guy who like guided us through the test said we had to use a pen for the written part, and i was like wth. but he passed some around, so don’t worry.</p>
<p>honestly, SSATs are overrated. just go, take the test, get your results. you will be 90s scores regardless of the many avid hours you put into studying synonyms and fill in the blank sentences.</p>
