#2 pencils.. or mechanical pencils?

Test Preparation
1

<p>Are HB mechanical pencils allowed in SAT, ACT,& AP testing? The HB is the same as the #2 ... right? :confused:</p>

2

<p>Mechanical pencils aren’t allowed, but I highly doubt the proctor will say anything to you (I used them on the SAT and nothing happened any nobody said anything).</p>

3

<p>Me and many of my classmates used them on the APUSH exam and PSAT and they didn’t say anything about it. I thought it was different for the SAT & ACT</p>

4

<p>Technically mechanical pencils aren’t allowed. Why take the chance and waste time and money?</p>

5

<p>I used a mechanical pencil on all my SAT IIs in June. Got 800’s on both of em.</p>

6

<p>Dont use mechanical pencils… Just use the normal nummber 2 pencils and you will be fine for SAT.</p>

7

<p>Why risk it? Just use regular number 2 pencils.</p>

<p>-Facepalm-
Only on CC… Only on CC. </p>

<p>They’re pencils. If you find a #1 or #3, don’t use it. Otherwise, you should be fine. </p>

<p>But since this is CC and we’re all nerds… Bring a mechanical one for your scratch work and a dullish wooden one for bubbling.</p>

<p>use a mechanical if you normally use them. I always use them even if they repeatedly say not to. It’s fine. I got 800s on my subject tests and 2390 on my SAT 1. Chill and use what you want.</p>
