Hi,

Are students allowed to use pencil in their CAE writing exam?

Can't seem to find clarification on that. My colleague told me that students can't use correction fluid in the exam, but can they use pencil?

Many thanks.

Apologies if it is a silly question!

It seems they should use pen. I don't know if using pencil is penalised.

Pen on Writing only. Correction fluid on Writing only.

Pencil on all the other parts.
