just wondering, are students allowed to eat during exams?
obviously not like full packets of chips and shit that makes so much noise + is distracting
but as in chew gum, suck on lollies etc

i was under the impression that you could but a teacher at my school made me spit my lolly out during my IPT exam (it was a 3 hr exam as well *sigh*) =.= i think you can though. depends on the supervisor. generally you can i think.

Actually i think theres a thing on the board of studies that says that you can - but i'm not sure. you'll have to check with a teacher at school or something.

I think you can if you're diabetic. If not, tough shit, it's distracting.

Yeah, I always chew gum, or have a cough lolly or something. I even put gum in my mouth or open a cough lolly in the exam. Noone really cares...unless I like made a huge noise whilst unwrapping the lolly or something. But yeah, if I was told not to, I wouldn't really care.

my school doesn't let it happen, because people might put cheat notes in their gum wrapper.

we're not allowed to eat in the exam but my maths teacher came in and gave us all bali sugars to eat throughout the MX2 exam. he said supposively it is meant to enhance our concentration, he didnt seemed convinced just thought it was a good excuse to give us a treat. the business studies kids spewed with jealousy haha.

pro tip: on the day of ur final exam fill your clear no labelled water bottle with straight vodka, or any other straight spirit u like.

when (or if) u fiinish early start getting really really drunk in the last hour or so of the exam.

stumble out of the hall screaming when the exams are finally done :)
