In the trials I took 5 pens and 4 ran out in one exam so I went and bought a pack of ten. I took them all into the rest of my exams and everyone said something along the lines of "oho, got enough pens!" Ten isnt that many.

Two have run out since, so I will probably take about eight.

Oh, and my maths pen, I stole it off my maths teacher and have been doing progressivly better since.

Anything more than five pens is just being paranoid...
Personally, I take two blue, one red and a highlighter XD

Probably too many. Trials I took at least six into every exam: three rollerballs and three or more ballpoints. Just in case, you know? HSC I'll probably take my super pen and refill, plus a couple of rollerballs and ballpoints. We're not allowed to borrow apparently so I don't want to risk it - at least one of my pens always runs out in exam situations. :(

I went and bought a pack of ten.
Kilometricos? :) The multi-coloured ones are awesome.
