<p>I did AP Stats FRQ in pencil.</p>
<p>I thought what only matters is the carbon in graphite that the answer machines can read it.</p>
<p>Is it going to screw me over?</p>
<p>No. The AP Coordinator’s Manual freely available onoline says to inform students that if they use the wrong color pen or a pencil in the free-response not to worry. Scoring will not be affected. The reason for using blue or black ink is so readers can easily see the asnwers.</p>
<p>lol ^ i have to tell my friend about that
he did the FRQ in pencil and had to go over it in pen lmao</p>
<p>no
i think the packet said its ok to use either pencil or pen
dont worry</p>
<p>^^it did.</p>
<p>interestingly tho, the econ ones said pen only</p>
<p>oh yeah btw i did my stats FRQ half in pencil, half in pen</p>
<p>You should be fine, your case is just like the case when some guy’s pen dies and he is forced to use pencil. They’re not going to penalize that.</p>
<p>I did the stat FR’s in pencil last year and had no problem…</p>
