Are our calculators checked before we start the Maths HSC exam? (1 Viewer)

[Animals]

For the past 2-3 years, I've always just etched formulas that I have trouble remembering onto my calculator lid, sliding it up and down during exams to check for formulas. Now, I've done this for the last 2-odd years, and teachers have never suspected a thing, nor have they asked me to show them my calculator before beginning an exam. But now I'm worried that the supervisors will check our calculators before allowing us to begin the HSC exam.

So, past HSC students: Do the supervisors check calculators before allowing students to begin the paper?

At my school, we arent allowed to take calculator lids in at all, and Im pretty sure thats a rule taken from HSC conditions... so yeah, dont be suprised if they tell you to take it off.

Our calculators were checked before we started the exam - they had to be turned off, and the lids put on the ground.

They are often checked including the lid as you walk in.

Well in the SC exam we had to put the lids on the ground next to our table.

But look at it this way, even if they don't check initially, if they find out during the exam you're really screwed.

Yeah they check that you don't have anything programmed into your calculator before you go in.

 

[Timothy.Siu]

yeah they check it at our school too

I remember they will request you to slide off the cover from your calculator(s) and repeat for everyone else.

We got to keep out calculator lids on the calculator, but a representative from your school (e.g. maths head teacher) will check that your calculator is allowed (not usually the examination supervisors) and usually will glance over it to ensure you don't have formulae all over it.
