Batteries into exam?

Are you allowed to bring batteries into the exam?

Also out of curiosity, what happens if you had accidently set your calculator to radians for the whole exam, would they mark all your answers incorrect or would they be human and mark your answers correct?

Greatness

You should be able to, im goin to!
Dont you want your calculator in radians? :P I think you meant degrees, and no, make sure you have it in radians unless you want to work with it  in degrees. Otherwise all your answers will be wrong! Just leave it in radians and use a scientific for degree calculations.

Yeh we are allowed to bring them in, knowing my luck I'm going to need them. Also you want your calculator in radians otherwise all your differentiating and antidiffing of trig functions will be out. If it asks for a answer in degrees convert it back later by

You would probably get some method marks for it, but no answer marks. You would lose a lot of marks if you did this. Make sure it's in the right mode.
