    Whatever you do don't write in your own blood.
    I was imagining myself running out of pens during my last exam (applied maths), and stabbing myself in the arm to continue. I'll probably be bleeding from the ears by then anyway, so it'll be grand. I'll bring a quill to be safe.

    I'm bringing a dead bird into the exam with me.

    Plenty of feathers to go around then.

    I heard writing in Tippex/Semen is encouraged also.

    Is anyone bringing two calculators into the mathsy exams? I heard if your calculator breaks during an exam it's tough luck.

    You could always use the log tables and having to do your arithmetic the old fashioned way:p

    I'm bringing 6 blue Staedtlers, 2 red Bics, a Tippex pen and 2 calculators. My old casio natural display is kinda dead (maybe battery) and I have to smack it every time I want to turn it on.. Same thing seems to have happened with a lot of people, so I've just bought a new one to bring with it.. :)

    No, but seriously, don't use tippex. Just cross out whatever you don't want and put parentheses around it. This way, the examiner can still give you marks for it, whereas if you tippex it or scribble the life out of it, they won't be able to see it!

    Also, it'll save you having to wait until the tippex dries or worse still, forgetting to go back and fill in the right thing.

    if you lose your calculator during an exam, that is just awful luck. I've had the same beat-up calculator for 5 years and its got me through every exam ive ever had.

    I'm only going to be tippexing out little mistakes in English/Irish/Geography where I write the wrong word by mistake or something along those lines. Obviously if a maths problem doesn't work out I won't try tippexing out 7 lines of integration :p

    Tippex means changing pen, and waiting for it to work! Valuable seconds lost messing around. If you write a wrong word, stick a line through it, continue.

    That said, in my Irish paper 1 exam I had so much time I rewrote my entire léamhthuiscint answers to make them all neater. But ideally you shouldn't have such excesses of time.
