what to take?? (1 Viewer)

[ballerinabarbie]

ok for exams this is what i have: 1 red pen, 2 black pens, 2 blue pens, eraser, 2 pencils, sharpener, ruler, glasses, 2 highlighters, calculator (probably 2!), lip balm

do i need a stapler? (i've always had to have them for school exams coz we write on loose paper... but we are writing in booklets so i guess i don't need it?)

and is just putting it all in one of those ziplock bags ok? coz we need something clear right?

Nah. I think if you need a stapler, they'll have one for you.

I'm just going to bring a calc, 2 pens and a ruler.
I dont have much else to bring...

hey i didn't know we needed a clear pencil case - oh, I'M DOOMED! I haven't gotten one yet. I"m thinking of going in with 2 Blue pens, a highlighter...meh, yeah that should do. Don't do any maths...so no calculator, maybe a steel ruler to slit my wrists after considering my impending doom...

[underthesun]

6 pens, one pen for each band in my english exam. That's band 6 fo' sho'

Two calculator, and I don't think I could bring anything else. Maybe a "good luck" hat

Curve sketching template. Definitely.

And throwing star. I never go into an exam without my throwing star.

 

[ballerinabarbie]

yeah i didn't include my goodluck stuff!
and i'll take my md coz i have a song that i have to listen to before each exam... but i'll leave it in my locker

Take a bottle of water/vodka and even something to eat... but not a packet of chips, just like some lifesavers, mints, redskins, fantales etc. Because 3 hours is a long time for some people.

 

[ND]

4 pens, 3 calculators, 1 ruler.

Prayer beads would be nice... or a rosary.

From memory, you have to staple a sheet with your detals on it to the front of your exam. They provide staplers, but it's quicker to have your own.
You write in booklets so you don't need to staple exam papers...if you use more than 1 booklet for a question, you need to tie the books together with string. (which they provide)

don't forget to bring a fresh, new clean change of underwear

hmm I didn't know about this stapling business, I might take one in.
