This exam can be taken with pencil.

The Music Joint Entrance Examination is a unified examination for music candidates. During the examination process, in order to ensure fairness and standardization, there are regulations on writing tools. For the multiple-choice part, it is recommended to use a 2B pencil to fill in the answers.

This is because the strokes of the 2B pencil are relatively moderate, which can ensure the clarity and accuracy of filling. For the non-multiple-choice part, the Music Examination requires the use of a 0.5 mm black gel pen for writing. Such regulations are mainly to ensure that the music scores, notes, rhythms and other musical symbols written by students are clear, standardized and easy to identify.
