Nothing, literally nothing but your ID and whatever you need to show what test you are taking. The testing centers provide you with everything you could need for the test, including calculator

Ask the testing facility. They will likely provide a calculator, two sheets of paper and two pencils. Ask the facility ahead of time if you can bring your own calculator and what the restrictions are on that.

Testing center should provide you with everything. I personally brought my own calculator because mine was better than the TI-84 they usually provide, and part 65 says you can bring your own calc as long as you can prove you've cleared its memory completely.

You need your ID and your testing authorization. Other than that, you can bring a calculator if you want but you will need to show that it doesn’t have any stored information. Nothing else is allowed in.

Thank you very much! Basically, I would bring my ID and Testing authorization!

Bring your own calculator if you have it. A buddy of mine went to go take his general written and got screwed over because the calculator they supplied couldn’t even do parentheses or exponents.

Guess I shouldn’t try to become an A&P, I can only use HP calculators.

Start with three Ben Franklin's and go from there.

Generally, any silent, battery-operated, non-programmable calculator that doesn't have paper tape printing capabilities or a keyboard containing the alphabet.

Can't recall where I saw it, but the Texas Instruments TI-30XS was named as an acceptable calculator.

Otherwise, no computers, smart phones, or smart-watches.
