Allowable Examination Room Materials 


All necessary stationery is provided. Students must supply their own pens, HB or number 2 pencils, erasers, rulers, calculators, and flowchart templates.

Course materials

Students may not bring any course materials to the examination room other than allowable materials. Any student who brings other items to the examination room, including coats, bags, knapsacks, and briefcases, will be required to leave them at the front or sides of the room during the examination. The invigilator is not responsible for such items.

The intent of these restrictions is to ensure that no student has an advantage over any other student writing the same examination.
