<p>So my proctor said we couldn't use mechanical pencils, and a few of us still used mechanical pencils and she made us put the mechanical pencils away and we all got ****ed.
Back in December 06 and January 07 i used mechanical pencils and it was fine...</p>
<p>Why doesn't College board let us use mechanical pencils... I hate regular pencils, looking at those ****es me off. I hate the feel of regular pencils.</p>
<p>im also a fan of mechanical pencils...so i use it when i solve problems and marked the answer with a regural pencil</p>
<p>I'm a fan of mechanical pencial. I'm actually a stationsry fanatic. I think I love my pencial and eraser more than my non-existant children. However... I figure I'd be better safe than sorry and used the cr*ppy sharpening ones. On SAT IIs, I think they might actually be better for bubbling in.</p>
<p>i know guys i hate this too, but ijust use my mechanical pencil anyways (i mean seriously, who uses regular penicls these days?). its cuz collegeboard knows that theres different types of mechanical penicls out there, (.5 .7. 9 leads). whenver if i get stopped, ill show the proctor how even though my pencil is a BIC mechanical .7 pencil, it also says 32 on there. but that hasnt happend yet</p>
<p>It really ****es me off that we cant use mechanical pencils. At least they could give a reason! I especially hate it when we have to write essays, because my pencil gets very dull by the end, but we are on a time limit, so I can't go and sharpen it.</p>
<p>I've always used mechanical pencils on standardized tests and have never been stopped for it.</p>
<p>My proctor was like walking around the classroom, and I hear her saying no mechanical pencils...but we kind of...just ignore her lol until she made her last warning.</p>
<p>ya i hate gay proctors like that, i mean do they realize that by not using a mechanical pencil could potentially not let us get into the colleges of our choice and thereforre affect our future plans for succcess and happiness? </p>
<p>haha yeaaa</p>
<p>lol ya .</p>
<p>A pencil is a pencil is a pencil.</p>
<p>If you can't be flexible enough to use a plain old pencil, how do you expect to succeed at college? Or life?</p>
