Hey everybody! I am not sure if this is super helpful to anyone but I just wanted to share that you can use a fountain pens for the essay section of the AP Literature exam. I just finished with it and I used my Lamy 2000 M nib with Lamy Black ink. I experienced limited feathering, no bleed through, and limited ghosting. Overall, it worked pretty well and I would recommend it if any else wants to try it.

Edit: I received my score so I can confirm that fountain pen ink shows up on the scantron
