Re: What if.....

Then your exam is as dead as your batteries. •It is the responsibility of the student to supply equipment that is in good working order. This includes calculators. •Equipment failure is not a ground for an appeal under misadventure provisions. - Board of Studies NSW

Re: What if.....

you're not f**ked, if you're smart. ;)What to do:1. tell a supervisor you are feeling unwell.2. go to a doctor, and tell them you had a severe migraine during the exam.3. Get a doctor's certificate, and apply for illness/misadventure. ...that's what I'd do in that situation. >

Re: What if.....

If your calcualtor runs out of battery will the supervisor supply you with a gun so u can shoot yourself in the head?

Pretending to faint always works too.

Re: What if.....

If your battery runs out, tell it to get the fuck back in here because you are doing a test.

Re: What if.....

Yeah this happened to me today in the exam, the screen was fading in and out. I said out loud "oh you gotta be shitting me" it didnt work for about 5-10 minutes and I was freaking out! Luckily it just lasted until the end of the exam

I've got 2 just in case :D
and if your calculator does end up running out of battery, just go with the whole 'pretending to faint/ feeling unwell' scenario :D
