You not allowed to take watches in?

 

[ur_inner_child]

Try not to.. because there is a regulation about bringing in watches, because some are able to store "notes." The place you will be having your exams will definetly show you how much time has passed, even if they have to draw a clock for you and change the hands every 5 minutes.

 

[ur_inner_child]

I don't know... they'll get sus about digital stuff i can tell you.

 

[Not-That-Bright]

yea exactly, we got told we'll be asked to put our watches on the floor.
There's fairly high security in these exams lol
They have photo ID checks and all sorts of shit

 

[hipsta_jess]

We were allowed to take them in, so long as they were silent and we made the examiners aware of them beforehand

Whats all this stuff about photos?

There has been events where people have walked in claiming to be a student and doing the exams for them to obtain better marks. Especially the case for drama and music.

( havent read other replies, so sorry if i over lap)

You can take normal watches into the hsc exam BUT yoy must put them on the desk in fron of you, not wear them on your arm ( some new BOS rule, to prevent people doing funny stuff with their watches, it will be enfoced for the 1st time this year, or last year or something, according to our principal)
i am not sure with the whole stopwatch thing but i would presume no. if the wacth could do any other things ( like temperature or anything) then no ....

 

[kylie_robbo]

Yep... the watch thing is new this year.

oh thats fucked
1. i cant read analog
2. while im doing an exam looking at a paper for so long makes me practically blind and i cannot see anything else.

i always took my watch in for everything else i dont see why it shouldnt be allowed now

What about water?

Are we allowed to take a bottle of water in, provided, of course, we take the label off the bottle?

 

[ur_inner_child]

If it doesn't look suspicious, bring it in.

You may take a small clear bottle of water (not over 1 litre)

 

[chepas]

Suspicious? So I should throw away the clear plastic overhead of 'The Tempest' quotes that I made especially to insert inside it .Cool...

I managed to bring Tim-Tams into the School Cert back in the dark ages, but I didn't know if they'd be a bit tighter with the HSC.

EDIT: Cheers, Slimeboy.
