can i use hb pencil on scantron

by Prof. Quinn Mitchell DDS Published 3 years ago Updated 2 years ago

An HB Pencil is OK for the SAT – So are B or 2B Pencils as well. Subsequently, question is, can you use a 2.5 pencil on a Scantron? You'll most likely be just fine. Scantron machines used to only be able to read the graphite

Graphite

Graphite, archaically referred to as plumbago, is a crystalline form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure. It occurs naturally in this form and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions. Under high pressures and temperatures it converts to diamo…

in pencils (#2 being the optimal one for writing.

The pencil lead weight that corresponds to #2 pencil lead is “HB.” With the same type of lead, it's deeply unlikely any scantron machine in use today, no matter how outdated, would have trouble reading your markings.Mar 22, 2016

Full Answer

Why do pencils have HB and HB2 on them?

To keep things simple for those unfamiliar with the systems, and because of the ubiquitous nature of the #2 pencil in the US (commonly used to fill in multiple choice standardized exams), some companies put both systems on their pencils, either in a clear form (HB = 2) or in a less clear form, like 2HB or HB2.

Can I use a HB pencil for the SAT exam?

an HB pencil is, in fact, a #2 pencil. There are two different systems for classifying the darkness of a pencil’s mark and its hardness, the HB scale and the number scale. Originally Answered: For the SAT exam, can I use a HB pencil? For no more than a pencil costs, don’t mess with this requirement.

Are B2 pencils real pencils?

It is important to note that there is no universal industry standard; one company's B2 is another company's B, so you will see some pencils that use 2½ to represent their HB, and others will actually use decimals (#1.8 or #2.2... yes, these are real pencils).

Why don’t people use mechanical pencils?

3) To prevent “under bubbled” answers — mechanical pencils are often very fine and don’t always do the best job at filling in bubbles completely. 4) To avoid lead failure. It’s unlikely you’ll run out of a wooden pencil unless it’s super short. But you can unwittingly run out of lead, or break so many you’re stuck.

Can you use any pencil on a Scantron?

That's right, according to that search, BIC mechanical pencils are the only pencils approved by Scantron themselves.

What kind of pencils work on scantrons?

While either mechanical pencils or regular pencils, with appropriately dark cores, will work on scantron forms, there is some evidence that mechanical pencils have an inherent disadvantage on timed tests that use scantron forms. This is because “regular” pencils have wider tips than mechanical pencils.

Can I use HB pencil on Sat?

An HB Pencil is OK for the SAT – So are B or 2B Pencils as well.

Why do Scantrons need #2 pencils?

The first Scantron sheets were scored or "read" by feeding the sheets through a machine that measured how much light was blocked. No. 2 pencils were required to fill in the circles on the sheet because the graphite in the pencil is an opaque substance that absorbs the light that hits it.

Is an HB pencil a number 2 pencil?

A #2 pencil is considered an HB pencil which is the middle of the scale of pencil hardness. These pencils produce a dark line that is still easily erasable which is why they are commonly used.

What is HB pencil?

B stands for "black". These pencils are soft. H stands for "hard". HB stands for "hard black", which means "medium hard".

Are HB and 2B pencils the same?

Generally, an HB grade about the middle of the scale is considered to be equivalent to a #2 pencil using the U.S. numbering system. In reality however, there is no specific industry standard for the darkness of the mark to be left within the HB or any other hardness grade scale.

Why are mechanical pencils banned?

The short answer is that you can't use a mechanical pencil on the SAT or ACT because answer sheet scanners are specifically calibrated to detect the marks made by a No. 2 pencil and mechanical pencils are not always regulated as No. 2.

What is the number 1 pencil?

Lead pencils are graded on a scale from No. 1 to No. 4 based on how much graphite is inside the core. The #1 pencils are the softest, while the #4 pencils are the hardest.

Can I use 2B on Scantron?

Can one use an 2B pencil on an U.S. scantron? I have used 2B in America. No problems but I wouldn't recommend it just because you are asking for less problems if you don't.

What is the difference between #1 and #2 pencils?

The hardness of the graphite core is often marked on the pencil — look for a number (such as “2” “2-1/2” or “3”) — and the higher the number, the harder the writing core and the lighter the mark left on the paper.

Are any pencils not number 2?

It's not because they are second best. Pencils are numbered and lettered based on how hard the lead is. Keep in mind, the pencils manufactured today are actually made from graphite. The higher the number on the pencil, the harder the lead and the lighter the marking.
