Highly, highly doubt they'd let you take one in for bio or psych. Defeats the purpose of the subject.

The purpose being?

WhoTookMyUsername:
Well a huge amount is based around recall and knowledge of processes. If they're all laid out in front of you it just wouldn't work with the current study design / style of exams

TheFedExpress:
I agree with Bazza16.

I don't know about Bio, but Psych is basically straight recall with no real application of knowledge, hence a notes books would make the exam 2 hours or so (i don't know what the new lengths will be) of straight out copying from notes.

They currently allow notes in Physics because you can have all the equations, but it is the conceptual knowledge and application of these equations that separates students.

Just my thoughts though, I guess we'll have to wait and see. 

Biceps:
aargh the poor students of next year...
They are going to have to remember a full year of biology and the exam is gonna link all the ideas together as well.
Sadly i don't think they will allow a bound reference for subjects other than physics because they are mostly knowledge based and would render the exam useless in identifying the harder working students.

nisha:
What about the poor Chemistry students? Unit 3 and 4 is quite a lot to remember (considering I heard that all the content is staying...). It would be truly saddening if they dumbed it all down though. Chemistry is such a beautiful subject/
