cause it stimulates your brain and improve memory, but it is considered food so you cant...how can they catch you anyways right? cause you can just swallow it and make an excuse saying if you move your jaw and make a chewing action it stimulates memory right

I offered my presiding officers gum, and they took it haha.

Anyways, I can't go anywhere without my beloved '5 Electro'.

You can chew for three hours? Gum usually softens and becomes 'liquidy' by then. . .

what i've noticed is that gum goes really hard and un-chewable after a while (20-30min)... or am I not chewing long enough? OR chewing the wrong gum?

you guys are so lucky, they didn't let food into our exams, and drinks were just plain water (our head supervisor was a bitch)

Chewing gum makes me hungry.

And halfway through each of my exams, my stomach started growling. Not good.

My supervisor is awesome. I had a Maccas coke that I drank in my exam today and, on top of that, she gave me a Mintie, a Milk Coffee biscuit and we shared her orange Tic Tacs. She was really nice. :)

yep i chew gum. its weird how it helps stimulate my thoughts... well at least more so than if i didn't chew anything and my face/jaw muscles just stagnated
my supervisors have seen me chewing gum and not said anything
also on days when my nerves for the exam don't let me eat enough breakfast, i find chewing gum helps supress stomach grumbles/cramps

What? You're allowed to eat? Did he have special consideration or something?

As for gum, yes, I chewed gum in the exams.
