WTF. I HAD A BLUE ONE. And they DID NOT let me keep it.

They didn't let you keep the pencil?  I'd be asking for a full refund.

I used up the eraser for the morning portion and had to request a new pencil for the PM session. Probably not a good sign lol.

I used about of half of mine when I took the exam in April.... you could also look at it this way, you fixed something that you knew was wrong and now it's a point in your favor...good luck to you txjennah....

If an enterprising EBer had some money laying around, they could do some real damage with this information.

Well, no worry there.

Blue in VT.

Much better than the April 2018 pencil. That eraser was crap and I hated the clicky on the side.

I miss the thinner pencils tho. I have a hoard of them from my failures, proctoring in college, & my ex's - somehow in the breakup I got all of his NCEES pencils lol

That's probably why they're now radically changing up the pencil design every session.

The whole reason they started issuing pencils was because they caught a couple guys, in different sites, in the early 2000's wit a "spy" pencil-scanner, trying to scan the entire exam. Ever since then they issued custom pencils.

EBers make a game out of predicting the pencil colors but more nefarious people could use that same information to try to steal the test. Which in the long run undermines our license and profession.

That's crazy.

I forgot to add that it was the FE exam, not PE.

I have to say, it feels pretty nice in the hand compared to April 2018. It’s new scary and different but pretty great. I have an extra one of @ptatohed needs one for testing. 

I'll take it!
