the mechanical pencil will write better because it has a skinnier lead, so the pencil doesn't go flat if you write too much on one side. the lead also still graphite, but has special substances in it to help you write better. Still, if your pencil is certified HB#2, it can be used on Scantron Genuine Forms and State tests.
