Are we allowed pencil cases in the exams?

Yip

Victoria.

I'm just going to bring a pile of pens and a highlighter on the first day because it's only english paper one and see what everyone else is doing :pac: If they bring in their pencil cases then i will the next day.

Maybe it's in that hilarious book of rules that was sent to all candidates in the post. It's quite a good read if you need a laugh. Something near the end like 'candidates may not in any circumstances place cash/cheque inside their exam booklet in doing so their exams will be canceled' :pac: Not sure of the wording but somewhere along those lines.

Wait, what book?? I never got a book?? omg what if they have forgotten me and forgotten that I'm doing my exams too?

And yes you're allowed pencil cases(i can't understand how, people could have clues written on it, seeing as they are so strict about everything else you'd think they'd be strict about pencil cases too)

I didn't get a book either. I'm sure you'll be fine.

No book here either.

Thank GOD, I have having to carry a pile of pens and a rubber and a sharpener etc without something to put them in! Sooo impractical :P

If you were going to write out something small enough to hide in your pencil case I'm pretty sure you could memorise it anyway like. And the consequences of cheating in the LC are bad enough, why would you bother!

In my school last year no-one brought a pencil case in... no-one really wanted to ! You really don't have THAT many pens etc to bring in, and when they are layed out on the table they are easier to get at (obv) PLus.....pencil cases make noise. Think of rummaging through it finding a pen which is at the bottom of it. That noise would piss me off in an exam!
Thats why this year im carrying my stuff in....

dolly!

yeah but its so much handyer to have a pencile case and ud be so F**ked if one of ur pens run out!!! its just not worth the risk ha!!:D

ihavequestions

I'm still bringing like 5 pens in.... ha its handy too... I like to organise them on the table when I get bored eg pass Irish :P

Curlyhatescurls

heehee 'quiet food suggestions', hmmmm, chocolate, out of its wrapper, wrapped in clingfilm(clingfilm doesn't make noise when you open it) God, it's pretty hard to think of any food that you can eat quietly, I'm a bit shlurpy with the chocolate myself....

Think this is the one your on about:
75: A candidate may be expelled from the examination hall if his/her behaviour is such as to jeopardise the successful conduct of the examination. Submission of material of a pornographic nature or any other offensive material or the inclusion of any cash/cheque in the script may result in the eamination in all subjects being disallowed.

...There goes my plan

You can bring food in? that is good news:pac:

Haha food! Imagine sitting down and twenty minutes into the exam you throw out all the sweets in pockets onto the table: a stack of freddo bars, lollipops, kinder beunos and every sort of thing

Ooh, could I bring a banana? That's super nutritious and brilliant for the brain and they taste nice and we have a whole load of them in the fruit bowl, are they quiet enough?......should I have it already opened and wrapped in cling film?

dee o gee

I presume they'd be ok with you taking tablets during an exam? I might have to bring in a few panadol or disprin just in case I get a headache, and don't fancy getting kicked out and drug searched during an exam.

Too smelly! I'd get up and leave if I had to breathe in banana fumes for a whole exam :pac:

I'll be furiously chewing my way through packs of wrigley's extra in the exams I'd say...

Would you be allowed to bring in a red bull? For history, a can of red bull is must.

Haha I wouldn't have time to drink a Red Bull what with all the furious writing... the history exam is like a stimulant in itself, you get so high strung! :P

I think it can depent n your super though, some will let you in with a pencil case, other won't, others will search it first, same with water, they might ask you to leave your bottle cap off. Our super last year was cool , someones phone went off during the 1st exam and he just said to turn it off.. others would have freaked out. Hope everyone gets lucky!

My pencil case is in the shape of a book.
