number 2 pencil
Scantron's best friend
A number 2 pencil is a wooden pencil with medium-soft graphite, the standard type required for standardized tests in the United States.
The number refers to graphite hardness on a scale where lower numbers are softer and darker.
Optical scanners read the marks reliably, which is why test instructions specify Please use a number 2 pencil.
