Are we allowed to take into the exam one of those notebooks with the spiral binder? It has perforated pages.
-
No. You need to add a spine to the book if you want to use it.
You can read more about it here:

I wrote mine on loose leaf and got it bound at officeworks.
-
I also wrote my own on loose-leaf :D
Then I stapled and taped around that edge until it was bound :D /forevercheap
-
You can use a spiral book, at the end of the year, just unwind the spiral, use a hot glue gun to glue down the spine and duct tape over it :)

I did this too, then taped my textbook to it.

How would I go about doing this?

I didn't tape my textbook , I Just stapled and glued two workbooks together and a covered the binding paper as well so it looks like only 1 book. :P

Mine has a spiral binder (looks like a spring) but does not have any perforated pages. Is that allowed?

At the end of the year, take out the spiral, run a hot glue gun or PVA down the spine and go over it with duct tape

I don't understand why spirals are not allowed.

It's VCAA haha

what about just using a A4 book that you buy from the supermarket ? can you do that

I did that for spesh :) Totally fine :)

would you recommend it ?

What if my book has perforated pages? What can I do to make it legit?
-
photocopy is one solution, or just tear them all then bind using the glue / tape method
-
so you can use a A4 page excercise book?

Yep, I did :) As long as nothing is sticking out of it, it's fine :)

Do i really have to do this? it would take forever. if my book has perforated pages, would they really take my book away?

They might, I just wouldn't risk it.

How do I solve this "perforated pages"
problem then?

Or if you have room just hole punch it and get it bound elsewhere
-
So just to reiterate, if I bring in a binder book with perforated pages and all the pages are bound and even if I shake the book no pages fall out and I don't tear any pages out during the exam, am I allowed to keep it with me during the exam?
-
Short answer, you are not allowed to bring in a book with perforated pages, that's what the rules state.
You may decide to not follow the rules, but if you care about/need your reference, then you obviously would want to follow the rules, so no, do not bring inn anything with perforations.

So the only way to fix this problem is to tear out all the pages, then bind them?!?!

As paulsterio previously mentioned: '

Don't tear out the pages, just unwind the spiral, you know how to do that right? just take one end of the spiral, straighten it out so it can go through the hole and just turn the spiral over and over again, it will begin to move down the book, just repeat until you reach the bottom.
Then straighten up the book by tapping it on all four sides on a table, then get a bulldog clip and clamp your book together. Now get someone to hold it for you while you run a hot glue gun down the spine of the book, now add a few staples in it as well, then tape it all up with duct tape.
There, it shouldn't take any more than 15 minutes if you do it properly.
-
Can I just tear out all the pages, then staple along one side? Is that considered to be bounded?

If you ten tape over those staples (duct tape or something), then that's fine. I did that with my loose A4 sheets to make a book :)
-
So I can just take some pages of notes or exams and duct tape it to my text book?

Not sure about that, my whole reference was kinda taped and stapled together so it looked like an actual book, maybe try contacting VCAA directly on that query, it seems a bit shifty though.
-
The straight answer is no. That is not one single spine - I know someone who got into a bit of strife doing this. Best to just write the notes on the inside cover of your book or to use the notes pages at the end of the book.
-
Ok....... so if I tape all the pages along one side, then staple that side, is that enouggh?

If it is securely bounded then yes
