It's better to be safe than sorry. Make sure you check the exam instructions before you arrive:
- what must you take into the exam room?
- what will be provided for you?
- what are you allowed to take into the exam room?
- what are you not allowed to take into the exam room?
- check the instructions for each exam particularly subjects such as Maths or Science, where you may be able to take in specialist items
- English - you are allowed to take set texts with you for some units
- practise your exam techniques to take these rules into account so they become second nature before the big day.
