    Just bring yourself, a drink, and pens, and you're sorted. Obviously extras for subjects such as Maths and DCG.

    Sorry if I sound like a nutter, but are you allowed to bring a maths set and calculator into subjects where they wouldn't always be needed? I was planning on bringing them into Home Ec. I want the maths set because I keep my colouring pencils in there and they have asked very simple maths questions in the past (ie. 9 x 4.2) I don't think I could do that in my head when I'm in a rush.
    And is there ever a problem with bringing a second calculator into maths?

    Silly season is setting in, I see! :P

    Suppose I might as well ask this here too. I was planning on bringing in a stopwatch instead of a regular watch. Made a big mistake counting minutes on a watch in the mocks (still can't tell the time in 6th year :o). I've disabled the beeping sound on the stopwatch. I presume I'm ok to bring it in?

    You should be but if you're worried just ask the examiner :) They're usually nice.

    The SEC will put clocks in the exam hall so you SHOULD be ok, unless you're really far back and/or have bad eyesight!

    Bring a nail file too. You want to look your best under the intense stress of it all! :P

    Wow I can't believe I forgot that.

    I'll probably bring a fan just in case it gets too warm

    do you reckon a hidden camera is allowed or frowned upon. havent come across it as a rule but will they see it as some attempt to cheat?

    I highly doubt it. You could record whats on the paper send it to someone and get them to sent the answers back.

    not like a phone or anything. i mean something like this. http://cgi.ebay.ie/USB-Spy-Pen-Video-Mini-Spy-Camera-Recorder-Camcorder-/260788197559?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item3cb83018b7#ht_961wt_1139
    it cant send unless you have a usb port somewhere.
    only to show people what its like in the exam and maybe get someone to judge your paper
