- Are these real #2 pencils for standardized tests?
- They are labeled #2 HB, the grade most answer-sheet scanners expect. The thick barrel is the main difference from a standard #2 pencil.
- Do they come sharpened?
- Yes. The pencils are pre-sharpened from production, so they are ready for class or exams without a sharpener.
- Will a regular sharpener fit the thick barrel?
- The barrel is wider than a slim standard pencil, so a standard sharpener may not fit. A sharpener sized for jumbo pencils is the safer choice.
- Are they good for young children?
- The extra-thick ergonomic barrel is designed for smaller hands and is easier to grip than slim pencils. The satin finish helps keep the grip from slipping.
- What can the HB lead be used for?
- Writing, note-taking, forms and light sketching. HB is the middle grade, so it is darker than a hard pencil but holds a point longer than a soft one.
- Do the pencils have erasers?
- No erasers are listed. Plan on a separate eraser for classroom or homework use.
