is this considered a number 2 pencil?

The #2 refers to hardness of the lead, so it depends on the lead you use in the pencil - if you buy HB leads - whether 0.5 mm or 0.07 mm or 0.09 mm - that is equivalent to #2; there are other designations such as B or H which are different.

I don't believe it is. I think the difference is more in the harness of the lead than the size of the tip, but I'm not sure on that. This seemed to be a good site for comparison. http://www.jetpens.com/articles/Article:_The_Mechanical_Pencil_Equivalent_of_a_No_2_Pencil

It is a number 2 pencil. And yes it will work perfectly on standardized tests. The pencil makes clean, bold, smudge free lines.

I just tested a Ticonderoga (beginners) #2 pencil and it works fine. These are the pencils they use in the Kindergarten classes. Hope this helps.

It has 3B lead which is darker and softer than most #2 pencils... the darker the better so yes it WILL work

Yes it is your basic lead pencil. .7mm lead and I would think a regular eraser for lead pencils would work.

I think it's one of the better models to have because it's not very heavy and has the rotating mechanism for the lead. In comparison to other pencils, it's more about the lead that determines breakage. This model has diamond infused lead which makes them a lot more resistant to breakage but good luck finding the replacements for it. If you're looking for good replacements, then get the super high polymer replacements from the office supply stores because they work just as well (if not better). They're also cheaper and easier to find.

The previous answer to this question is extremely thorough - I have no knowledge of the school pro version of this pencil sharpener.

I believe the lead that comes with this mechanical pencil is graded HB. So it's pretty much middle of the road in terms of darkness/hardness. I suspect it would work just fine. Personally, I prefer softer darker lead. I generally use 4B lead which leaves a noticeably darker line but also breaks easier. I would think the darker the line, the easier (faster?) it would be to fill in the little ovals on a scantron test. So it's a matter of preference I suppose.

You will also need 2mm lead (there are a variety of hardnesses and colors available), a 2mm lead sharpener (lots of different styles, I reccomend the Kum Automatic Long point two stage sharpener - it sharpens 2mm lead and it has a two stage long point sharpener for pencils - excellent points), and you will need an eraser, paper, ruler, and etc. Most importantly you will need creativity and imagination! Have fun. I bought lots of these (different brands and colors) for a wide variety of lead hardnesses. This one feels more solid in comparison to some other brands but I have not yet come across any that are unsatisfactory.

Yes - it has a dial to select the diameter of the pencil you want to sharpen so it works for standard and fat pencils.

It is kind of a harsh sharpener when it does #2 pencils, so I would probably say no.

i was able to erase light pencil marks with ease.... if you use 'hard writing' or something othe than a #2 i doubt you can easily erase it.

Sorry, the answer is NO. The pencil set come with one standard leads, you do need to purchase 4H, 2H, on your own. What we are trying to show here is the pencil has the indicator that shows what kind of lead is loaded inside the pencil.

#2 pencil lasts a long time. Some labels still legible written in 1998. Sun & water don't affect.

I still have the pencil and I bought it six months ago. It is in excellent condition except for the squishy grip. The grip has changed colour after long use.
