<p>i dont think you should use white out. there's another thread about using whiteout, but i guess if you did last year, then its fine.
personally, i would be too scared to risk it though.</p>
<p>DON'T USE WHITEOUT!!</p>
<p>It can create all kinds of problems. Cross out anything you don't want read with a single line. Trust me, the readers will ignore it.</p>
<p>ok i see your point.
what im trying to say is if you already used whiteout on an exam, to not worry about it. since some people already took several exams.
because they still grade your frqs the same.
right?</p>
<p>I wrote my calc frqs in pencil... is that really bad?</p>
<p>sensibility, you're fine using pencil on the calc exam.</p>
<p>The reason many major multiple choice tests request that you don’t use mechanical pencils is because the lead manufacturers coat the lead in something that may cause the test to be unreadable. Writing essays in pencil would not have the same result.</p>
<p>Ap test essays are written in pen because the essays are copied, and if you have ever looked at the online copy of a sat essay that has erasing, then you know they can be barely readable. Writing in pen fixes that problem. For that reason erasable pen should not be a problem.</p>

<p>Do you have a source for this? For example, according to the Pentel web site, “Pentel Super Hi-Polymer HB lead is equivalent to a #2 pencil, guaranteed to scan on tests.” This is at odds with your statement.</p>
<p>Of course, the original posters are probably not too concerned about this issue anymore.</p>
<p>The primary reason not to bring a mechanical pencil is that those are the rules; there doesn’t seem to be a good secondary reason.</p>
