I was too concentrated on the FRQ and was out of it and didn’t hear my proctor saying the FRQ has to be written in pen. I took the AP Psychology test and wrote both FRQs in pencil. Will my score be invalidated/ a 0? It’s not like I wrote super light or anything.
You’ll be fine. The only reason you’re asked to write in pen is because a pencil may not be dark enough and it may be smudged while being transported to the graders. This is a common mistake, and you likely won’t get any points off unless your writing is ineligible with the fading and smudging that may occur. I say don’t worry too much about it. I took the Psych test yesterday too and I didn’t know we needed a pen until the day before because I was self-studying haha
