is a uniball jetstream 1.0 a ball point pen?

[bananaboat]

sorry for the anal question.

but these are my favourite pens...i was wondering if they are ball point though?

they feel great to write with, but they aren't gelly, or fountainy...but they still don't feel like a regular ball point. 😕

if anyone knows for sure, please let me know. otherwise i'll go buy some bics.

I don't remember them checking pens. If it's ink, it's fine

on that note, make sure it doesn't leak through the paper

they are read by hand correct?

they aren't scanned and read on a computer? are they?

As far as I know, they are read by hand. This has to take the cake for being THE most anal MCAT question I have ever seen on this forum. My advice is to just make sure you have two black pens in case one runs out of ink mid-essay, and don't worry about the brand. 😉

Don't worry bananaboat. I wondered about the same exact thing when I was selecting black pens the other day (Well, not the same brand but a gel rollerball oriented one I like nonetheless). 😳

Imagine the horror of running out of ink with only 1 pen.

Your pens should be fine!!! Don't worry about it. Just make sure your bring extra just in case one malfunctions.

Hahaha OMG!!! I really wish this was all I had to worry about with regards to the MCAT! 🙄

lol sorry guys. my mom was just making me question my pen choice today in staples...like "the reason they want you to have ball point pens is in case the essays get wet and your writing smears".

lol. she comes up with all sorts of things.
