Mirado Black Warrior Woodcase Pencil, HB #2, Black Matte Barrel, Dozen

Mirado Black Warriors are the absolute best pencil to use on standardized tests. The lead stays sharp, the eraser cleans up the lead and does not tear the test book or answer sheet. This is the only pencil that I recommend; this is the only pencil that I use at my summer SAT camps. I give 5 of these pencils to all of my private lesson students to use when they take the PSAT or SAT.

Only place I can find these pencils @this price (too bad the shipping is too high).

This may sound funny, but I just love these pencils. I have been using them for as long as I can remember. My mom always bought them for me for school growing up and I continued to buy them when I was on my own, in college and for work. I have always done a lot of math in my field so I always have pencils around. I have tried just about all of them, but nothing works like a Black Warrior. I now purchase them for my own kids for school. I get so frustrated with all the cheap, made in China pencils that break, jam up your sharpener and don't erase! These have a very smooth writing, dark lead and the erasers are amazing. The best part is that they are made in the U.S.A! You can't go wrong with this product and this is a great price, especially if you if you purchase enough to get the free shipping!
