Okay, on the SAT test I used a papermate mirado classic 2.5 F pencil for the whole thing. I did not even realize I had to use a no. 2 pencil until hours after the test, since no one ever emphasized the importance of using No.2 pencils. Will this affect me adversely in any way? I also heard that I can request for hand scoring right? In the case of my essay and scan tron not registering, can I request for hand scoring?
Or is the SAT already hand scored?
I agree. I used a mechanical pencil during my SAT (which I later found out we weren’t supposed to use) and I got my score back within the same time frame as everyone else. Don’t sweat it.
