Unsharpened pencil (fat tip) is faster to fill circles
Also, unlike Schweser, I think it’s better to avoid the answer sheet until the end of the exam. You don’t waste time going back and forth (240 times for Level I). Just make sure to stop whatever you’re doing and go to the answer sheet when there are maybe 15 or 30 (just to make sure) minutes left.
If you’re well prepared and absolutely sure you’ll pass you don’t need any of this, yadda yadda. But if you guess a couple questions from lack of time and then fails band 10 the little things may feel bigger.

You could always bring a pin and use BLOOD, while the machine won’t read your answer it would make a statement.

first, draw a 5 point star within the circle… for each answer… make sure each point on the star touches the border of the circle…
then pray…

Oh and I’d go against the mechanical pencil suggestion unless you are really used to it. I find its easier to fill a circle completely with the standard soft pencil. As for circle completion : outline the circle first, then fill in the center in a spiral motion.

You think you are OCD? I had 10 new sharp pencils , 2 ba calculators and 2 new erasers. I think the person sitting next to me felt quite sad when I started arranging everything in a perfect geometrical order with the engraved leterings from the pencils facing up. I even had a designated spot on the table for the eraser crumbs.

You really should worry about less trivial things.  The speed in which you fill in a bubble is not going to matter.  The being said, I used the same 0.7mm Pentel mechanical drafting pencils for all 3 exams, even on the essay portion of Level 3.  0.5mm is always to thin for me and I always end up breaking the lead if I write to fast or hard.
