Great Exam Stationary!

While I was writing this post, I realized that having good exam stationary really makes a difference in your exam performance, especially in essay based papers where you often find your hands to be numb from exhaustion afterwards. So here are some pens that I've tried and would like to recommend for all you exam takers out there:

Pilot G2 Gel Pen

This pen has a great grip and writes super smoothly to ensure both comfort and speed when you're writing an essay. Since it's gel, it also gives the nice, formal "look" of ink but doesn't smudge easily.

Progrex Mechanical Pencil

This pen is mechanical pencil has a steady grip and is environmentally friendly and is therefore great to have handy for diagrams and annotations and whatnot.

Papermate Kilometrico Ballpoint Pen

This is a personal favorite of mine for doing math or science papers that don't require such "extravagant" presentation as essay papers. The fine point writes smoothly but also makes your writing look tidy at the same time.

Uni Jetstream 101
This ballpoint pen is great for both math and science long answer papers, as well as essay papers for people who don't like using gel or ink. It writes smoothly and provides a nice grip and the colors are also very nice and dark, which is great for essay writing.
