AP Calculus AB - What to Bring?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>Im taking the AP Calculus AB Exam tommrow, and it is my first exam. My school already had a pre-registration session, in which we put school codes - names - birthdates - labels and etc in our sheet. So what do I need to bring to the testing center tommrow? SO far all I have thouht is : #2 Pencils, Calculator, Batteries. Anything else?</p>

2

<p>Maybe some pens for the FRQs, I think they’re in blue/black ink. Not sure though, so just bring them in case. Otherwise I don’t there’s anything else.</p>

3

<p>You can do the calculus FRQs in pencil. The temperature of my testing site varies greatly, so I’m going to bring a hoody. A bottle of water wouldn’t hurt either, if your proctor allows them. Maybe a watch if the clock is hard to see…</p>

<p>I’m always paranoid about my phone making a noise even when it’s off, so I take the batteries out…anyone else do this?</p>

4

<p>Hand your phone to the proctors, in the off mode.</p>

5

<p>I just leave it in either my locker or my car</p>

6

<p>Bring a watch for sure in case you can’t see the clock. </p>

<p>QUESTION: Can you get disqualified if your watch alarm accidentally goes off?</p>

7

<p>Batteries, bro.</p>

8

<p>bring your soul…dont leave it at home</p>

9

<p>A snack for the break. The test is four hours long. Nothing too sugary. Water bottle? Have a good breakfast and go to the bathroom <em>before</em> school.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Possibly, nothing is supposed to make sound; bring a non-digital or silent watch, or wear it on the other hand (depending on what triggers it to go off), or pray that your testing center has a good clock.</p>

<p>I’m bringing a couple #2 pencils, a mechanical pencil to do the scratch work, and a pen or two just in case.</p>

<p>I’m also bringing my calculator and an extra set of batteries, as well as a watch, eraser, etc.</p>

11

<p>Does anyone else use those papermate twist #2 pencils? They’re ok for AP tests right? They’re definitely number 2 (have always worked on scantrons…) so they should be fine, right?</p>

</p>

<p>On the collegeboard bring/do not bring list, it says not to bring a watch that makes noises, so I guess they could invalidate your score. Seems like a bit of an overreaction to me though</p>

13

<p>Watch, a couple of pencils, calculator, an extra set of batteries. Food isn’t really necessary IMO, since the thing gets out at like 12 for most people.</p>

14

<p>Can you bring/use any calculator? Not sure what your schools permit. Some don’t permit any cell phones.</p>

15

<p>^^ obviously you can bring a calculator… you HAVE to
and cell phones are NEVER allowed</p>

<p>get your facts checked lol</p>

16

<p>^^ You can’t bring/use certain calculators for the test. You are permitted to bring a calculator that’s approved by CollegeBoard for AP testing. </p>

<p>Search up “AP Calculator Policy” in Google. It should be the first link.</p>

17

<p>an id, like a passport if you are writing it at another school</p>

<p>Don’t forget to bring your brain and your attitude.</p>
