I've been raving about triangular pencils since the beginning of this post.wtrcoins3 wrote:I DID NOT realize that TRICons were different than TICons. This adds an entire new dimension.
I agree with Steel, they are REALLY comfy.

Re: What #2 Pencil Should I use?
I had thinner wooden ones that work with any sharpener, but the TRIconderogas I use the one that comes with the pack of pencils. It's not consistent, but you can get a good point out of it. Just bring enough sharp points to test day and you'll be in good shape.BruinRegents wrote:How do you sharpen them?SteelPenguin wrote:I've been raving about triangular pencils since the beginning of this post.wtrcoins3 wrote:I DID NOT realize that TRICons were different than TICons.

Re: What #2 Pencil Should I use?
I'd like to join this party. I, like many followers of TLS, recognize the irrefutable causal relationship between pencil quality and LSAT score.

From the Overheard at the LSAT thread:
What a TTT.
The guy John Winger is talking about could have used some of the information in this thread.McGruff wrote:this got lost in all the state school debacle but how did he erase if he was using golf minipencils?John Winger wrote:Guy next to me used the mini pencils that you get a golf course. He also erased half of his writing sample and started over.they don't have erasers...
What a TTT.

Re: What #2 Pencil Should I use?
I will say, when taking the test last Saturday I noticed a strong correlation between the post-test demeanor of those people using TTT pencils and those rocking TLS-Approved varieties. Small sample size, but I think it supports the overarching hypothesis of this thread.

At my test center I saw a guy with two golf pencils and no eraser. Guess I know who gets those 150's

That's ridiculous. No one is going to or even allowed to bring something that preposterous to a testing center.

I'd overcompensate too if I was PTing 155.

other than post count, what type of evidence would suffice? i suppose i could set up a live videostream of my next PT and stop after the 3rd section, at which point you guys could grade it and let me know how much over 155 I end up with. hell, you guys can even choose which PT. the only stipulation i have is that the communications major does the 4th section.

LOL I wasn't actually targeting you with my snark. I was merely treating it as a "caption this image" post. I didn't even know that you were the one actually overcompensating.jd2121 wrote: ...............says the communications major.

I used and loved the HB Palominos for my LR, RC and bubbling in answers.
I used and loved the Ticonderoga's EnviroStik for LG. I just loved its eraser and how it writes lightly for my hypos in games.

Re: What #2 Pencil Should I use?
Does anyone know the type of pencil blueprint uses in the ones they give students.
It's excellent for games: stays sharp longer, easy to sharpen and write w/o breaking.
