I think the vast majority of readers thought this was a JOKE.

Call the provincial college if you are that worried.

The recommended pencil to be use is HB2,i think. Check at the back of your CRNEprep guide,(sample answer sheet), I believe it is stated there.In the registration letter that they provided, it states they will provide us pencils. I assume you are all set for the exam and worried about this things.

I hope your English is up to the exam. The symbol# is widely used across the English speaking world to mean "number".

We were given a pencil, courtesy of the CNA, or it may have been CARNA, I can't remember now. Anyways it an HB that's recommended I think but don't worry because you get all that info in your confirmation pack.

I just hope gcom and all the other crne-takers had brought their own pencils: IDK other places but in Ottawa they gave nothing at all
The pencil I used was a courtesy from National Archives Canada and didn't have a code/letter, but at least I had something to write with.
Is the CNA/CRNE affected so badly by the recession that they don't even offer pencils to the examinees? lol
