Pen colours on exam paper

It has come to my attention that you may only be allowed to write in BLACK ink on the exam paper this year. (It has certainly been the case for some other AQA exams). You might have been told this in school but as I haven't been there I don't know! You also need to make sure you only write on the lines (if you need extra space ask for extra sheets to write on). The reason for both these is that some AQA exam papers are marked by examiners via computer (so black shows up better!)
