I'm Australian, and I have to ask - why does that matter?
Some tests that are administered in the US are on "Scantron" sheets. These sheets are numbered and have just "A" "B" "C" "D" bubbles on them (along with spaces for your name and date and things like that) but a quick google search confirmed my suspicion that the #2 pencil is what the machine reading the Scantron sheet used to detect so if you filled out a test with something else it's essentially like handing in a blank test. Reading further on "todayifoundout.com" with newer Scantron machine readers you can still use a pen and have the test read, #2 pencils are just preferred. Some teachers even hand grade Scantron sheets though I'm not sure about OPs situation.
Lesson here is to read the front page of the test!
