<p>I know that CB specifically states that mechanical pencils are not allowed on the AP, yet I've used them last year while testing. I was just wondering how strictly they enforce that rule; I'm probably bringing some wooden pencils as backups just in case.</p>

<p>Also, are you required to write in pen only for the FRQs or is there an exception for science and math exams? For calculus, I feel really uncomfortable with writing my answers in pen. </p>

<p>The test will prob say if you need to use a pen. Just bring a pen, just in case. </p>

<p>Mechanical pencils are not allowed, so bring wooden pencils. </p>

<p>You can answer the FRQ in calculus with a #2 pencil. For mechanical pencils, the question is how strictly the proctor enforces the rule. Bring wooden pencils and a pen to be safe.</p>

<p>That sounds fairly reasonable, thanks :)</p>
