    So, this thread is mostly for posting what stationary you're bringing in before each exam, the main purpose being to stop you forgetting anything.

    For English, I'm bringing:

    - Blue pen
    - Black pen
    - Ruler

    And I think that's it, might bring in a green.

    Quick question: How do we bring in books for English paper 2? Can't have a bag, so?

    In my school, we're not allowed to bring any books in to the exam hall. It's different for every school I think. Ask someone tomorrow morning

    Underlining anything that I may find needs to be underlined *shrug*

    Yep, but you have to include it with the paper you hand up.

    Is it recommended not to bring red pens as that's the colour the correctors use?

    Don't use red or green - they are the colours used by Examiners and Advising Examiners.

    Yes, I'm certain you can label with a red pen, Arnie is just worried about pissing off his examiner. A fair point.

    I was only planning on using red pen for headings etc. The content will obviously be written in blue/black.

    Yes you can ask for graph paper and you can ask for accounting paper if you're doing busy, you don't bring your own paper you ask for it :)

    You can use a red pen for headings, but don't go near the right hand margin on the writing paper with it, that's where the examiners correct in red pen, you don't want to confuse them.

    I find it very disconcerting that in a thread ostensibly about an English exam nobody has pointed out that it's spelled 'stationery'.

    You're right, I used the wrong stationary/stationery. :L
