Title: Are electronic stopwatches allowed?
Post by: dekoyl on October 29, 2009, 07:05:01 pm: I know electronic communication devices aren't permitted in the exam room, but how about electronic stop watches?
I have a kitchen timer (can fit in the palm of my hand) that I'd like to bring into my examinations. Is that okay?

Cool, thanks. How about beep? It's also a digital clock and it beeps in random periods. I don't know how to shut it off =\

Post by: Gloamglozer on October 29, 2009, 09:27:25 pm: I simply take my watch off and put it on the table. So far, the supervisors have looked at my watch and haven't said anything.

EDIT: Actually, in my physics exam this year one supervisor said something. She asked me where I got it lol.

Well, not unless if you're carrying a lot of cash in hand. Otherwise, yes, the supervisors would have to report you.
