<p>Do you all use pens or pencils for AP FRQ's? This is for AP exams ranging from English lang, Lit, Spanish, Calc, Physics, Chem , Eco, Bio?</p>

<p>If pens, which kind of pen? ballpoint or ink?</p>

<p>thanks so much.</p>

<p>My teacher for APUSH said to always use a ballpoint pen because it’s neater than a pencil. If you make a mistake you can just cross it out instead of messily erasing it and its also a lot more bolder and easier to see.</p>

<p>Pen. :slight_smile: Some tests specifically tell you to use a pen. You can find the information of collegeboard.</p>

<p>FRQ’s that involve essays are usually pen-only while those that involve problem-solving (calculus, physics, etc.) can be done with pen or pencil.</p>

<p>I try to use pencil when I’m allowed to. When I use pen, I prefer ballpoint, blue ink (Bic Atlantis, to be specific).</p>

<p>My teachers have instilled in us that if we don’t write our FRQs in pen, they will not be graded, as that happened to a student before.</p>

<p>Pen. Pilot G2-5 (gel ink 0.5mm) is my personal preference.</p>

<p>You sound like a hit man describing his favorite special forces assault rifle.</p>

<p>Just as a hit man has his preferred weapon, I have my preferred writing utensil…</p>

<p>Seeking, you can use gel pens like g2s?</p>

<p>I think they say not to, but the G5 is a really fine tip so it’s almost like any regular pen.</p>

<p>Bic Crystal Black. I’m ghetto.</p>

<p>Oh crap, I just read the above post and realized that I use Bic Cristal and not Atlantis (though I was right about the color of pen I use). :P</p>
