What material is not allowed in the exam room?
You cannot bring any unauthorised material into the examination room. You may only take the equipment listed in the equipment checklist into the examination room. No other equipment is allowed. Unauthorised material includes written notes and recorded material on a phone or other electronic device. Mobile phones and electronic devices, such as organisers, MP3 players and electronic dictionaries, are not permitted in an examination room. Before the exam begins, Presiding Officers and examination supervisors will inspect any equipment brought into the examination room. Consequences if you are found with unauthorised material may be severe, including zero marks for an examination, the cancellation of a course and loss of the HSC. You can read more about examination rules in the Rules and Procedures for 2010 HSC Candidates booklet.
