Basic (ie non-programmable) calculators may be used in examinations, unless specifically stated on the examination paper. In some examinations, there may be a restriction on the type of calculator you are allowed to use. Miniature information processors for the storing of information are not permitted and their use will be regarded as cheating.
Some schools have an authorization process for calculators which you must follow. It is your responsibility to check whether or not you are allowed to bring a calculator into your examination and to check that the type of calculator you are using is permitted.
Spare calculators are not provided.

 


It is your responsibility to check whether or not you are allowed to bring a textbook into your examination. Unless informed otherwise, textbooks are not permitted. If your school allows textbooks to be used in examinations, check if any annotations are allowed.

 

  • Food or drink
  • Coats
  • Bags
  • Pencil cases (even transparent ones)
  • Blank paper
  • Mobile phones/tablets/Bluetooth devices

  • Notes of any kind

If you bring these items with you, invigilators will specify a place where they must be left. In particular, phones must be switched off, with all pre-set alarms disabled. The phone will be confiscated if found on your person or on or near your desk, and its presence may be regarded as cheating.

The University cannot accept responsibility for loss of, or damage to, items brought into the examination room
