Erasing on the SAT, marks left, should I worry?

<p>Just out of my paranoia, how sensitively do the answer sheets get scanned? There were a couple of choices that I erased, and the bubbles were still faintly darker than a non-bubbled one. Is this something to worry about (and thus maybe request a hand-grading), or are the SAT grading machines good enough to tell apart most erase marks?</p>

<p>Dont worry about it. This happens to me every time but the machine always gets the answer that I put last.</p>

3

<p>Is it fine if I used a cheap dollarstore no.2 pencil that wasn’t as dark and crisp as a actual Staples pencil? Like some of my marks were pretty bad lol</p>

4

<p>Ah that’s good to hear, thx for confirmation</p>

<p>On the AP Euro exam, I accidentally filled out all of my MC questions and my contact info with a Number 3 pencil. I got my scores, and I got a 5. I think you’ll be fine.</p>

6

<p>on another note, is it fine that i used a mechanical pencil? i’ve used the same lead for ap’s and it’s always been fine…but i noticed it specifically said DO NOT USE A MECHANICAL PENCIL on top of every page =/</p>

7

<p>It’s fine; I always used a mechanical pencil and didn’t erase fully sometimes. I did fine…</p>

8

<p>What if your pencil wrote too lightly on the essay? Will it still scan correctly?</p>
