I have been facing difficulties with using my Biology Lab book because of the requirement of using permanent ink and how I have to organize it perfectly. Am I supposed to write anything that isn't requested from the lab in it?

i assume this is bio 1a03. you just need what they told you. stuff like procedure, lab results, etc. if you did the labs correctly and yourself then the lab exam will be easy

The tell you pretty clearly what you need to write in it.

Permanent ink is a must for writing in lab books, you should get used to it if you plan on taking any more lab courses.

**Chem is an exception because of the carbon-copy...you can't erase the carbon copy so it doesn't matter what you write with.

It does if you have a sharp pencil and write with enough pressure
I absolutely hate using pen, so I use pencil whenever possible lol. There wasn't even *that* much pressure required, but some people write with virtually no pressure on the page and that doesn't work...for me it was just like normal writing.
