								The bound reference thing is a load of bollocks if you understand the course well enough. One of my friends got 50 in spec without bringing anything in (and yeah, he was smart, but not a complete genius - I managed to beat him in UMEP maths 

).
I think I opened my bound reference once in the spec exam (when I did methods, they still had the two 1½ hour exams with a double-sided cheat sheet...).
