Writing instrument Pencil or sharp (mechanical pencil)?

Hi,

Under " What to bring to the test center", we are advised to bring No.2 or HB Pencils.

I have watched the “CFA Exam Day” video and the lady in the film is using a sharp(mechanical pencil)

Does anyone know if we are allowed to use sharps in the exam?

Thank you in advance

You are not just advised to bring No.2 or HB pencils, I think those are mandatory. Don’t bring a mechanical pencil, just in case.

No 2 is 2B right?

mechanical fine too
