number two pencil
Scantron sheet partner
A number two pencil is a wooden pencil with medium-soft graphite, the standard type required for standardized tests in the United States.
The "number two" refers to the hardness grade of the lead—soft enough to leave dark marks that scanning machines can read, hard enough not to smudge easily.
Make sure you bring a number two pencil to the exam.
