<p>SIMPLY CARRY HB PENCIL…it is DARKEST (in terms of normal usage. In standard, B1 is the darkest). That is what they need for the scanner to read. No.2 is only minimum recommended level. You all will get a pouch of pencil containing HB pencil at the center. :p</p>
<p>Hey they gave me Faber Castell extra dark pencils at my centre :D. And 2B is much darker than HB isaac. I remember experimenting :p</p>
<p>No, I’m not applying to Bates…</p>
<p>Arry, I told in normal usage. 1B is the darkest 
(Am a mechanical engineer, :p)</p>
<p>Ah in that way yeah :p</p>
<p>I used HB on my first SAT and 2B on my second
I prefer the 2B coz you don’t need to ‘ghisso’ as much and it doesn’t spread if you put your hand over it as much as the usual natraj apsara etc.</p>
<p>:)
The “Ghisso” factor really works</p>
<p>Wow,so much advice on a pencil…thx,guys :D</p>

<p>Hey, come on, it’s a valid discussion! :p</p>

You dare not underestimate the awesome power of the dark scratch marks!
