<p>Since we all know that we can't use mechanical pencils on SAT/ACT/AP and the like, what kind of regular pencil do you guys like to use. </p>

<p>Ticonderoga all the way. I especially like the black ones.</p>

<p>^What you said.</p>

3

<p>Freakin mechanical pencils.
I don’t care if they don’ allow it… I buy #2 lead o.o</p>

4

<p>ticonderoga! and my hi-polymer eraser</p>

<p>

Yes.</p>

<p>For AP essays, one of these bad boys:

<p>You can use mechanical and that’s what I use.</p>

7

<p>Ticonderoga is by far the best non-mechanical pencil. It’s soft, comfortable and the eraser works well.</p>

8

<p>I never realized that there were different ranks of the quality of pencils until I joined CC. ;p</p>

9

<p>It’s not even debatable that Ticonderoga is the best.</p>

<p>notanengineer: the gel on those smears too much</p>

10

<p>“Ticonderogas are the cadillac of pencils”</p>

11

<p>They do smear, but the weight of the gel is too good to let down. When I go back to normal pens they’re just… weak.</p>

<p>Ossenburger would use a Ticonderoga.</p>

12

<p>I never thought about the best type of pencil before, but now I don’t feel so neurotic for suggesting to my son that he wear down the pencil a bit after sharpening so will not be so pointy and waste extra time filling in ovals.</p>

13

<p>I thought the backpack thread was classic CC HSL.</p>

<p>I was wrong. This is definitely it.</p>

14

<p>What in fuark…</p>

<p>This only happens in CC. I don’t give a flying rats arse about what pencil I use if it has a #2 lead and good eraser.</p>

15

<p>I used a mechanical pencil on my AP tests 2 year ago and nothing happens, and I would on the SAT but I would think the proctors would be more strict</p>

16

<p>Black Warrior is far superior to Ticonderoga.</p>

17

<p>Ticonderoga</p>

18

<p>Ticonderoga or Mirado Black Warrior.</p>

19

<p>this is why i love CC</p>

<p>Which ever one I can get for 1 cent at Staples during the summer. I stock up for the whole year then.</p>
