I repeat my question. And is this pencil a HB pencil???? |
If "HB" is clearly printed on it, use it, else better dont take chance... though most OMR scanners r not sooo particular abt the pencil... but y take the risk...
Dunno if this is worth a mention or not... or whether this thread is suitable or not... but, dont wanna start another thread on such a trivial thing... posting right here
Happened to meet a OMR scanner salesman during a journey... n being a CAT aspirant, was obviously keen on knowing something xtra abt the same... the noteworthy thing tht came out was tht OMR scanners rnt tht particular abt the pencil - tht nothing save HB wud be acceptable... reason is obvious, the darkening style may vary frm person to person... and the main lgoic behind using HB is tht (as Thussu already mentioned) its "just right" in 13 types of pencils - dark enuff, yet not so dark as to leave an impression on the sheet kept above it...
Whew!
