We realize that you may not be happy that the rules don't allow you to bring many resources. We will bring a small number of loaner copies of the textbook that you may be able to use during the exam. But there may be a waiting queue to use them, so you may want to have your own copy with you if you believe you will need it.

If you are found looking at a forbidden resource during the test, the instructors reserve the right to deduct some or all of your points from your final score.
