<p>Ok, this is for all of you who use mechanical pencils for the sat. Don’t use it! See, the best thing to use would be a #2 (of course!) pencil that is strong, yet bold pointed. When you bubble the answer in, you will have more surface area. You will save 1-2 seconds doing this. That is just for one question, that multiplied by 50 questions, for example, for one section, will save you 1-2 minutes! That may not seem like much, but when the clock is ticking, in the end, you will have more time to answer that last qestion.</p>
