- Is this pencil good for standardized tests?
- Yes. It is a No. 2 soft graphite pencil, the grade most scan forms and tests require. The dark lead fills bubbles clearly.
- How does it compare with a standard cheap pencil?
- The 2.2 mm lead is thicker than many budget pencils, so it breaks less and holds a point longer. The wood also sharpens more cleanly.
- Does it come sharpened?
- No. The dozen arrives unsharpened, so you need a standard pencil sharpener before first use.
- Is the eraser latex-free?
- Yes. Ticonderoga uses a latex-free eraser on this pencil, which matters for people with latex sensitivity.
- What is the lead size and grade?
- It has a 2.2 mm No. 2 soft graphite core. That is the standard test grade, darker and softer than a No. 3.
- How many pencils are in a pack?
- This listing is a dozen, so twelve unsharpened pencils.
