I took FAR today and found it very difficult to read my writing on the scratch paper they gave me.  The color of the paper was blue so obviously writing in pencil on it was very difficult to see.  I kept having to maneuver the paper in the light to see what I wrote.  Anybody know why the scratch paper is blue?

Many people on the forum have had "blue" scratch paper and they had similar experience as you had.... Fortunately, for me I had perhaps "yellow" colored scratch paper...

Try reading "hot pink"!  That test is hard enough without dealing with that!  White paper is cheaper.   They could save us all a couple of bucks by switching to white.

I had pink, which I didn't have any difficulty reading.

I'm assuming they don't have white paper because colored paper with notes would be harder to sneak in.
