To keep track of how long you have left.

... thats what clocks are for?

Clock/Watch/Stopwatch. It all does the same job.

Cuz that one second it takes to lift your head is going to make all the difference in the world and theres no need to be childish and resort to name calling. But again, i seriously doubt they would let you take one in.

Well, I've got a fob watch, and they've never stopped me taking that, so I assume it's OK, just take one and if there's a problem then leave it in your bag or something

Are there always clocks in the exam room? Or do we need to bring a watch or something?

Yeh, well I kinda have bad eyesight and if I sit at the back I can't see the clock :S

When i sat my HSC there were at least 25 clocks up in the hall, they were on every wall. They set them up to allow for this kind of thing.

Im guess you can get a stop watch. Just place it so that its visible.

Um. Tamara. Of COURSE he can bring a stopwatch. It's not 'illegal'...

EDIT: Tammy, a stopwatch can be used to cheat in a way, of course; but why on earth would that matter? So I can time my game/exam to make me on my game. I think that's OK..

"Doctor: I'm afraid your son has the knack.
Dilmom: The knack?
Doctor: The knack. It's a rare condition characterized by an extreme intuition about all things mechanical and electrical and other social ineptitude.
Dilmom: (worried) Can he lead a normal life?
Doctor: No. He'll be an engineer.
Dilmom: (crying) Oh No!"

That's fucking hilarious, cause 'our' Troy's gonna be an engineer...was your mum upset, lol ?

Why do you keep calling me tamara? Just don't most stop watches have programmable features these days? I would assume it would be treated the same as a programmable watch.
