<p>I was reading on the college board website that we need to bring pens for the free response questions. Are we required to use them for the free response questions, and also if we are, do we just cross out if we want to change something?</p>
<p>yeah Im pretty sure you can just cross out, Ive been doing that on APs and it never really mattered....</p>
<p>^i used pencils for physics b frq last year...but we had to use pen for chem.</p>
<p>^last year's physics b was el-joko, chem was a bit harder last year; but overall they were still joko... :)</p>
<p>so is that a yes on pens, or no?</p>
<p>Pens are allowed, but I don't think they're required.</p>
<p>If you do use pens, blue or black only.</p>
<p>And you can cross out anything that you don't want scored.</p>
<p>not required</p>
<p>you can use pens, but since your talking about a math free response, its probably better to use pencil. so you can erase and such, also it's neater than crossing things out with a pen.</p>
<p>From my experience, the pen is required for the FRQ identification information (First two letters of your last name and your first initial and the date and signature and birthdate, etc)</p>
<p>You can use either pen or pencil for the answers, but they suggest pen if you're not doing a math ap (computer science, stats, calc)</p>
<p>I would suggest using pens for all AP exams. You don't want to waste precious time erasing wrong answers when you could simply draw a box around it and cross it out.</p>
<p>^^u can do the same thing with a pencil - i cross things out in pencil all the time. and if u have to draw a graph or plot points , the eraser comes in handy a lot</p>
<p>Meh, Pen writes faster anyways, just use it, and use a pencil for the graphs. Its really not that complicated.</p>
<p>i used pencil for chem last year and no problem. i plan on using pencil for calc as well.</p>
<p>Why would you use pens if you have erasable pencils which are just as good? (especially if you have mechanical pencils, in which case you dont have to sharpen it)</p>
