Pens or Pencils for Digital LSAT?

I know we can bring regular pencils to the exam (it's printed on the admission ticket) but can we also bring pens? Or is LSAC providing pens?

For the stylus/pen they are providing - is it a decent pen? As in, will we want to use it over the pencils so we don't have to go back and forth?

Also, just to confirm - we still can't bring mechanical pencils right??

    Hey! I heard the pen/stylus is pretty bad as a pen lol. Sad reality that 200 bucks for a bad pen. I have the same question regarding whether it's ok to bring own pen, but I know as a fact that we cannot bring mechanical pencils!

    Good luckkkkk

    @ksuper1991 I don't see why one would need to use a pen for the LSAT. But, the pen works like a regular ball point blue pen. Its nothing extraordinary but it gets the job done.

    Yeah it's a ball point blue pen and actually worked fine for me. Stylus is on the end if the pen

    Is it possible to markup the stimulus (like circling words and what they are referring to)?

    Can we make diagrams for the Logic Games using a ball point pen ? Or still required to use pencils.

    @ksuper1991 bringing your own pen is prohibited by LSAC. The LSAC pen is trash. If you are used to using a good pencil, the pen may frustrate you some.
    The best pencil you can get IMO are palomino blackwing pencils. Pricey but glides like butter.

    @zenclimber the only thing the digital exam will let you do is highlight or underline.

    @lsatgirl-1 you can write with whichever LSAC approved writing utensil you choose in the scratch paper
