  There are rules, but you can absolutely have pencils and an eraser. The pencils can’t be mechanical and your erasers can’t have any sort of cover, sleeve, etc. you will need to show them to the proctor prior to beginning, so do check LSACs website for all the restrictions to be sure you won’t have any issues come test day.

  Directly quoted from LSAC:

  "12. Items Permitted on the Desktop During the Test. During the Test, you may have only the following items on your desktop: tissues; five (5) blank sheets of scrap paper; valid identification; regular or mechanical pencils; ink pens; highlighters; an eraser (no mechanical erasers or erasers with sleeves); a pencil sharpener; soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs (which shall be subject to prior inspection and approval by the Test proctor); beverage in plastic container or juice box (maximum size: 20 oz/591 ml); analog (nondigital) wristwatch. Notwithstanding the foregoing, electronic noise-canceling devices and/or other noise-canceling devices other than generic foam ear plugs approved by LSAC and/or Test proctor are expressly prohibited. Each of these items must be shown to the Test proctor during the security check-in procedure along with both sides of any scrap paper. Failure to follow any instructions contained in this provision may result in cancellation of the Test and/or the initiation of proceedings that may lead to a finding of misconduct or irregularity."

  Just to clarify @sarakimmel, mechanical pencils are allowed
