is this pencil oriented to more drawing or writing?

The ones I had were white and were a siste softer dark lead. They dulled too fast for me to write with. I don't remember their designation, they we're given to me. Palomino Pearl is all I remember. I linked them enough to find the harder graphite ones this time. These 602 whatever's are great for writing. The grey painted ones.

Is it number 2? Or more broadly, will it work on standardized tests?

The Blackwing 602 is a 2B lead, which is softer and darker than a #2. Would it work on a standardized test? probably. But they are not a #2 pencil so use at your own risk. For a number two you can't go wrong with a Dixon Ticonderoga. FYI when shopping a #2 lead in USA is equal to a HB lead internationally. You could call it the pencil lead metric system...

What is the difference between the 602 and the standard blackwing pencils?

You need to read the descriptions or go to the website. I like the Pearl and the 602's but just for short writing periods. For whatever reason my hand gets tired with both the pearl and 602 after much writing. I feel like I have to press harder. Both are soft leads. I prefer the Natural which is harder than a 602 and wears down less, and is darker. I don't have to press harder to get the look I like. I have about 10 different pencils I bought off eBay to see what I liked. Each one is different but similar. I love allll their pencils, but I'm sticking with the Natural as my favorite. I hope that helps. All are super smooth, flowing...

Is this "the reincarnation" of the eberhard faber blackwing 602 as in the same, just different appearance or name? or is it better or worse?

The Palomino Blackwing 602 can be considered a revival of the EF BW 602. The product is now produced with California incense-cedar and smooth Japanese graphite. "better or worse" is a subjective question as the original pencil went through several iterations over the years it was in production.
