Emily's Exam Prep Picks - Pens

Hi everyone! My name is Emily, and I've been working at Hunter Paper Co. for just over a month. It's coming up to exam season, and I know a lot of you will either be undertaking exams, or know someone who is. I'm currently finishing up my PhD so have been through plenty of exams and thought I'd share my top pen picks for getting you through.

My Pen Picks

I've always enjoyed taking notes, and making them look nice is just as important - might as well have something pretty to look through if you've lots of revision to do!

The Uniball One 0.38mm Gel Ink Sets (£13.95)

I adore these pens. With gel ink, they're really easy to write with and its 0.38mm size means your writing (or doodling!) will look precise and clean on the page. Here's a closer peek...

With 8 pens in each pack, the colour variety gives you plenty of options for your revision notes. Both packs also have a black pen which is a must have for your exams!

Zebra Mildliner Twintip Highlighters (£8.95)

I couldn't recommend these highlighters enough! Each pack comes with 5 twin tipped pens; your traditional highlighter tip, and a thin, precise tip which is perfect for underlining or highlighting particularly small text. Comfortable to use, these highlighters are an essential item for your exam-prep list. 

Marvy Uchida 4300 Le Pen 0.3mm Fineliner Pen (From £1.99)

Another favourite of mine: The Marvy Le Pen 4300 hosts range of high-quality, fine-point pens that are perfect for all of your writing and drawing needs. Their comfortable grip and smooth ink flow will make your writing experience a pleasure. If you're practicing past-papers, or looking to jazz up your revision notes, these are a must have. We also stock them in a number of sets, including 4, 6, and 10 pens in a variety of colours. Perfect for the student in your life!

I personally can't get enough of a pastel colour palette; and this pack of 10 at £20.00 is just stunning to write with and looks gorgeous on the page. 

Zebra Blen U Ballpoint Pen (£3.50)

A new arrival and new personal favourite, the Zebra Blen U comes in a variety of soft, spring tones with a strong binder clip. With a low centre of gravity and a vibration and blur control system, this pen provides confident and reliable writing wherever you are; perfect for writing on-the-go. 

Refills available.
