Colds always kick in around exams it's probably something to do with sitting in damp PE halls and what not!

My sister told me that a teacher said to her that we weren't allowed bring in pencil cases and we had to put our stuff in clear plastic pockets.

First I've heard of this; seems a tad unnecessary and I don't remember anyone ever mentioning it.

Bring in a highlighter for the key words in questions etc.

I'm not sure about the plastic wallet, but after my brother's Leaving he has all his colours, maths set and calculator in a wallet. Wondered why, so that might be it but we were never told.
I mean someone could have stuff wrote on their pencil case in code form

If you were Arabian or something, it would be a total advantage.
Write everything in Arabic on your pencil case and pretend its scribbles.

Success! \o/

Nay, nay and thrice NAY!!!
Don't let tippex anywhere near an exam script. If you make a mistake, put a line through it and work on further down.

Haha, I was thinking that. If you really needed to hide notes somewhere we were thinking in your bra or socks for lads and then you can go to the toilet, have a look at your notes and then go back in to your exam but don't fold pieces of paper because a superintendent or teacher will definitely come to the toilet with you and then they'd hear it!!!

edited, just for the craic :pac:

whats a parer? And I though it was funny that you have two calculators. It would be really really horrible if you lost a calculator before a JC exam but you seem to be covered haha

Wrong spelling, I think. A pencil sharpener.

No, it just stops you getting marks for the possibly correct answer you obliterated.

It also sticks pages together and in a good 30% of cases, the candidate forgets to write over it once it has dried.

If you make a mistake, just put a line through it and work on.
