I didn’t have enough time to prepare for the exam and want to bring some materials to read in between the morning and afternoon sessions, where do I put my stuff while I’m in the exam room?
you can take them with you as long as you sign a bond that you will not peep during the exam.
are you serious? I can take my bag into the room? no, someone told me he was forced to throw away his transparent plastic folder.
