Just had to ask about three things;
may we use our dictionary during reading time?
May we Highlight during reading time?
Are we permitted to place bookmark tabs or fold the corner of the page in our dictionaries  for the purpose of remembering useful vocabulary to integrate into our essays?

no folding seems to be the safest option. How would they distinguish whether you did it before or after (unless they saw you)?

No folding pages, no marking words with your thumbnail, etc.

Quick question. Not that I plan on doing it, but is there a process where they check your dictionary for written notes inside? Do they go through every page or simply look for different writing? What if someone glued notes onto a small piece of white paper and then glued it over one of the pages?

Also when you go to the toilet, what is the procedure? Surely no one is stopping you from taking a phone out of your pants and then opening your essay with pdf reader (never heard of anyone trying that but it'd probably work).

Yeah, I don't remember stuff being too strict when I did my mid years. I am sure they would check your pockets as you left for the bathroom or something.

But in the end, you are wasting valuable time!

Better yet, have your whole essay in your shoe and then go to the toilet and read it.
