I've never really seen a reason to take everything that we're allowed to take in, but i don't want to rsisk there being a random change in the exam that requires something i should've taken :S
So who is taking in?
A pair of compasses
Set squares
Protractor
(optional) a curve sketchig drawing template "provided that it has no printed formulae other than equations of simple curves (such as y=x^2) that may be drawn using the template.

You really don't need anything other than what Sampson9002 is bringing in. Maybe a water bottle as well. Bringing in set squares and protractors is just overkill. You're not doing General Maths.

two pens, a ruler, a calculator, a wax candle and the skull of a goat.

Deciding whether to use the template... but I doubt it... hate it now!

Your doing 4 unit maths, they could (even though it's unlikely) ask for construction of an auxillary circle. It wouldn't hurt to bring it anyway. Better safe then sorry. :uhhuh:

3 calculators...
btw, do we draw with pen or pencil?
they wont deduct marks if you used pen, but they could if its messy or hard to read (or maybe thats just my school?). Using pencil obviously has the advantage of being able to demolition any mistakes instead of scribbling them out.

Just remember that all papers are being scanned this year. Hence pencil may not be the best thing to use. Pen shows up better then pencil when scanning.
