Bags+UMAT

[homosapiens]

Just wondering if anyone knows if we'll be provided a storage place/room for bags at the Caulfield Racecourse test centre? I'm assuming that phones won't be allowed in the hall even if they're switched off?

[nacho]

you can put your phone at the front

edit: it says you cant bring bags inside, in the information booklet, nor mobile phones...
does that mean if an acer official sees a mobile phone sagging in my side pocket i will be evicted from the venue?

Hmmm yeah where/what would we do with our bags?

Was about to make the same thread.

I put mine under my desk (but then again I had special consideration). I had my phone in it as well, if it's turned off you can have it in there (why wouldn't you be able too..?)

So technically what are we 'allowed' to bring into the exam room and have under our seats? The info booklet is kinda vague and although I do already have a general idea, just wanting to confirm.

Lol, there will be tonnes of people, with 90% having iphones, its going to pretty hard identifying which one is yours.

I'm going phone off in my pocket and the battery in my other pocket so I'm not paranoid about it going off during the exam.

Or you could just... turn it off.

I read somewhere that people had to like somehow get rid of their bags like leave it outside or something? Are they this tight? I mean if you bend down to pull something like a dictionary from your bag surely someone will notice?

[tony3272]

I would still be paranoid about my phone magically turning on and making noise...

Can anyone address the issue regarding bags?

You ditch your bags at the back of the test room.

IIRC, you can have your phone/wallet/keys etc. under your desk.
