RE: Materials provided at lab?

In RTP, in my seat, there were some color pencils. But those are not the
colors that I am using for my practice. Also the pencils were not
sharpened at all. They were okay until you write "S0/0.1" or "E0/0" in
your diagram. Proctor said he can give more colors if you need and you
can also sharpen them somewhere in the lab. However, all this process
may cost you 2 or 3 minutes.

   When I took the lab in RTP in December you where not allowed to use
any writing pencils or pens that you brought. You had to leave them
with the proctor before being seated.
