we got given clear pencil cases at my school.
I've got a bunch of felt tips, blue and black.
2 calculators (wtf i had to go out and buy a second one because i've been using my first one for awhile and didn't want to risk it dying and it cost me $50 when the same model cost me $35 before), a pacer and spare leads, a rubber and a geo set.

For most of my exams there is alot of writing involved (ancient history, adv english, ext english, ext history) and so just before the exams I go out and buy like 15 pens. And I take all those pens into the exam because I am paranoid one will run out on me!
It's happened before... not fun.

I tend to break mine because I chew on them. That's the main reason for me bringing a bunch

I had that same situation with 5 pens and 4 running out like two years ago.
Thus, every year my bag bursts from the sheer amount of pens/highlighters.
its simply a matter of WHEN IT WILL BURST.

having a multitude of pens is like a security blanket.
surely, any paranoid persons would understand and agree.

During the English trial I took three in, one of them died halfway down the first page, second one died on about the 4th page. Luckily the 3rd one lasted the rest of the exam.

Rest of the trials I took about 6 in for each exam

Enough. 5-10ish. By the way, I'm pretty sure you NEED black pens for multiple choice sections.
