This might seem like a trivial question, but for the AP Calc BC exam, what should I absolutely bring with me? I want to make sure I have everything I need and nothing that's prohibited.
For the AP Calc BC exam, there are certain must-haves you should bring to ensure you're well-prepared. Start off with your approved graphing calculator; make sure it's a model that's allowed and it has fresh batteries or it's fully charged. You'll also need a couple of sharpened No. 2 pencils with erasers for completing the multiple-choice answer sheet. Bring blue or black ink pens for the free-response questions, as those need to be answered in pen. A watch (without an internet connection or any smart features) can help keep track of your time, just ensure any alarms are turned off. Lastly, bring your school code, a photo ID, and your AP Student Pack. Remember, no smartphones or smartwatches are allowed, and don't bring any scratch paper—the proctors will provide what's allowed. Double-check the College Board’s website for any changes to the list of allowable items.
