[cjs2112]

hi everyone, i am not sure if here is right place to ask but i am just wondering whether you can go to toilet during your HSC or Trial exams? is it allowed or not. can someone answer this question please.

thanks

Yes, you are allowed to go

Seriously, go to the toilet before your exam. If you take a bottle of water in with you (which I assume you are allowed to do?) make it a small one. You hardly get enough time as it is, let alone tiolet breaks.

 

[k8kate]

of course you can

why don't you just make sure you go to the toilet before your exams?

cos then you won't waste any of ur exam time

Serious?!?!?! Oh that's so mean - I bet they just couldn't be stuffed walking outside. You are DEFINATELY allowed to go and "relieve yourself" during your exam.

Ask your teachers - if the supervisor is going to be stupid about it, apply for "Special Consideration" / permission from the Board of Studies to be allowed to go to the loo during your exam, and watch them fry the stupid supervisor for making up rules

they record whenever u go to the bathroom? thats just weird...

 

[*Love-2-Hate-U*]

yeah they do that in my school too, we have to record our names and the exact time we leave and come back.

and we have to also walk around with a yellow 'pass'. lol
lame.

Sorta related... During the trials we were told that we couldnt take in water bottles. They had cups (polystyrene) and water. We could fill one up and take it to our desks as we entered. If we ran out we had to put up our hand and get a supervisor to fill it up. It surprised me. I assumed a water bottle would be alright

A bottle of water isnt allowed because you could hide notes behind the label or do something shifty with the bottle.

You would have thought a clear plastic bottle would be alright but i just checked the offical list and yep no mention of water bottles!

 

[kerfuffle]

O.O We can't bring water into the actual HSC exams? It's frickin' three hours, the exam! We need water to . . . keep our brains going.
Can't the examiners just examine our water bottles to see that we're not hiding anything?
P.S. We were allowed to bring water bottles into our trial HSC exams. I also ate pieces of candy (that had foil wrappers, so everytime I opened one to eat, it made noises) and Extra Drops during my exams. And in the School Certificate, I asked the examiner for each exam if I could eat Extra Drops during the exam.

It would not be practical in terms of time to check every student's water bottle(s), especially for exams involving the whole cohort like English.

 

[kerfuffle]

*sigh* True . . .
I'm still attempting to bring my water bottle in, though, unless they object.
My Extra Drops, too. I won't eat the candy in foil 'cause it makes too much noise. And since examiners tend to be not-so-young people, they'll probably be pissed off that I'm making such a racket eating, not to mention eating during the exam.

 

[kerfuffle]

*laughs*
Anyway, the 'examination supervisors and presiding officers' can check everyone's water bottle(s), according to part ii) of Section 19 of the Rules and Procedures booklet that we got:

ii) Before the examination begins, examination supervisors and presiding officers will inspect any equipment brought into the examination room.

My water bottle's coming with me. And my Extra Drops.
