use clutch pencils and half the time you are trying to get the damn lead out of the bore...
and carry three for each section(most probably 3 sec paper)
and dont use extra dark ones, if u rub and change answer the scanner might catch the previous mark..HB only!!!

since we are at the topic of pencils a small tip. use a lil bit (not very) blunt pencil rather than a very sharp one, u can shade quicker n darker. watever pencil u use preserve it after CAT. when u get a call ferom A it flaunt it as the most priced possession, lucky charm

it really doesnt mean nething... as far as HB is concerned.. wat brand is ur pencil? i hav a feelin u r usin one of those US made pencils... those pencils generally r lighter on paper than the normal ones... neways if u cud lemme know the brand name i'll let u know..

Come on Guys, this is one of the silliest discussions i have seen on PG. Things like which brand of pencil u use doesnt affect what is ur %ile. Just take any brand of HB pencil and it should be fine. This is the time to concentrate on mocks and CAT itself, not things like pencils and erasers

Best of luck for CAT, hope to see many PGites as juniors next year

I always use apsara platinum extra dark pencils. can I use the same? They are luckier for me.

I repeat my question. And is this pencil a HB pencil????

[THUSSU]

while we are on this discussion;
there are 13 types of pencils, ranging from 6H (Hard) to 6B (Soft) and an HB forming the mean (just right); The 6H is used to sketch outlines whereas the 6B is used for shading...

I would rather use a HB with an eraser over the butt so that i dont have to hunt for one when i need it

Rambling...
