that would put me off, i would think of them saying "why did you fail?? you know the answer to this"

thank you for that suggestion, l might take it to the front, thank you.

Ive heard u cant even take ur mobile in the exam room, ie. not even leave it at the front with the supervisors...if u know how long ur exams last, just tell ur parents an allocated time, or try and see if u can phone form the office. Want to risk ur final exams over a phone? yeah its expensive thing, but there are other ways to go without worrying abt it being taken and riskin an simple and quick 0 in an exam....

thats what they used to do, but since its an external exams, the supervisors for the hsc, who would be ppl other than ur teachers, wont take responsibility..

No chance of it being stolen, then. Not at all. No siree...

yeah mobiles are a big no no. apparently you can't even have it on you and have it off.

i'll be sure to bring in kleenexes, there's nothing worse than sniffing through the whole exam and disturbing everyone...but if it distracts them and helps you get a better mark - by all means.
