FAQ

What are #2 pencils?

#2 pencils are common, frequently used pencils. They have a medium-soft lead that makes clear, dark lines. They are good for writing and for standard tests because they are easy to erase and the marks they make are clear and easy to read.

Why are number 2 pencils used for tests?

Number 2 pencils are used for tests because the graphite they use is the right darkness for optical answer sheet scanners to read clearly. These pencils make marks that scanners detect accurately and are less likely to make extra smudges that could cause errors.

Are all pencils no. 2?

No, not all pencils are number 2 pencils. Pencils are graded based on their lead hardness and darkness. The scale ranges from 9H (hardest) to 9B (softest), with HB and F in the middle. #2 pencils, also called HB pencils, fall in the middle of this scale and are considered the standard for everyday writing and scanning for tests.

How do I choose the right pencil for my needs?

Choosing the right pencil depends on your use. For regular writing, a #2 pencil is ideal. If you're doing artistic work, you might want softer pencils that make darker lines, such as 2B to 6B. Those who need precise, clean lines, like engineers or architects, might opt for harder pencils such as 2H or 4H. Consider what you'll be using the pencil for and how dark or precise you need the lines to be.
