Title: Watches in the exam
Post by: Nicko912 on October 23, 2016, 08:16:49 pm
Hey all, first post on here haha.

I have read over the exam navigator rules, and its a bit unclear about whether digital watches are allowed in or not.
So what will you guys be bringing in for your exams?

Hey there and welcome to the forum! ;D

In regards to digital watches (such as the Apple Watch), they're not allowed in the exam room, because the technology could be used as a cheating tool.
However, if you meant just a regular watch, with a digital face, it should be fine, however to be safe, analog is always best. (Totally not my bias. ;) )

Thanks, and yes I just meant a regular watch. I might just bring in a digital and analog just to be completely safe (pedantic, I know, but aren't all the exams anyways?)
