Are exercise books with microperforations allowed as a bound reference?

[alondouek]

Problem with printing it again is that i want the book in colour and that will cost something like $380 dollars...

I doubt that it's be that exorbitant haha, all they need to finis scan it in then adjust the side margin, then print - really easy to do.

But still, you can potentially avoid all this and check if your notes are okay with the VCE coordinator. If they're fine with it, the supervisors cannot confiscate them.

Maybe you can rip the pages out and stickytape it all together again?

Wont remove the perforations

Sticky-tape over each perforation?

You could always rip out the pages and glue them in another book.

Is glue binding allowed in the exams?

Just to satisfy my curiosity, do you mind sourcing this?

Thank you

Yeah, I had stuff glued in mine, photocopies etc. If you glued every page on non-perf. exercise book, that should suffice.

I initially set up my methods and further bound reference in a book like yours.

I just took out the pages, stapled them together down the side as close to the edge as possible (to not hit the writing, it gets pretty close after removing the edge).
After that I just sticky taped straight down the edge. That's something you could look into if you're worried.

Only thing is the whole bound reference is like 1 cm shorter than A4 on the width =p (it looks odd if you add in standard A4 sheets into it)

i might do this but just get the pages thermal binded at officeworks because my book is too thick to staple

Sorry, moved this thread because the incorrect spelling of the word "exercise" as "exersize" was really troubling me.

Carry on.

I can't source, but for every VCE exam at my school, the coordinator is at the venue to check IDs and test reference books etc. He told us prior to exam period that if he'd approved the reference book just  prior to entry into the exam, then the supervisors won't have any problem.

It should be noted that the supervisors didn't even check the ref notes, only calculators (which was pretty odd I guess)

The further book I took into the exam last year had perforated edges like that... But the assessors didn't check our bound references at all (nether did any teachers prior to the exam)

Carefully tear out each page and have them rebound into a book at officeworks. Officeworks will bind any loose paper for you together if you pay them enough. I don't know if this paper is kind of hardy enough to survive binding though, that kind of paper is pretty thin. Alternative, they can drill it/holepunch all of them at once and tie it together.

I dont know if its worth risking it, even if theres a 5% chance you get caught, you could be left without it for the exam. If it's going to cost $300 or whatever, i think the risk is fine but if its going to cost $10 bucks and some time, i'd say take that option.

Yeah I'm planning to do this, but rather than using a coil bind (which would put holes through my handwriting) I'm going to get them to thermal bind it, which basically involves putting a strip of glue down the edges of the pages. Hopefully the paper survives.
