No. Time runs by the big clock that everyone has access to, not your personal kitchen timer sitting on your desk. What happens if your thing ticks 10 seconds early and goes off in a large hall? [I know you said it doesn't beep, but the invigilators won't know that, and there's no way you can guarantee it won't beep]

Yeah, happens in University as well.

I think it's so that if you wrote stuff on your wrist/sleeve, you can't just say: "oh, I was looking at my watch".
