Well there was just a number of things im wondering about: 1. Are we allowed bring our mobile phones with us? I have a pretty nice phone and knowing my luck if i gaveit to someone like the attendant or whoever it would get lost or swiped or something. Just keep in your pocket like? 2. Are we allowed bring food/drink in…

I wouldnt worry bout the uniform to be honest, wearing your civvies just makes it feel like more of a big deal than it is. My school let us wear what we wanted for ours, only bout half the people actually bothered to wear non-uniform, your better off goin into the whole thing with the same attitude and state of mind as you did for your christmas exams and you probably wore uniforms for them.

The more you try to think of it as part of your normal school routine the less stressed you'll get about the whole thing.

But remember that if for some reason you have an alarm set on your phone, it will go off even if your phone is off. Just leave your stuff in your locker!!

If you're caught writing on the table, that's counted as cheating and you won't be allowed sit state exams or three years (or is it five?) so it'll bugger your chances of going to college. Not worth the risk of having one or two extra quotations

ESSAY

if i do a personal essay, must I be the only character (I like haveing numerous related charcters in my essay kind of like Tom Clancy)

In a short story how important is the title, how relevant does the essay have to be in relevance to the title, how far can I strecth it

Any empty lockers in ur school? You could bring in a lock and leave your stuff in there? That's what we did, a few friends shared one. Or leave it with the attendant, they're meant to look after it. Or switch it off and ask the supervisor can you leave it up with them.
