I wonder if they'd actually measure pages to make sure they weren't 9" x 11" or 8.5" by 12".

Re: Font Styles and Sizes
I've never seen proctors go that far (I have seen them check to make sure that people weren't putting more than the allowed number of sheets in sheet protectors though). However, seeing as how 8.5x11 is standard printing paper, I would think that they would notice if you had an extra inch or a half.SOnerd wrote:Maybe if they let me bring my Chair in, they'd let people bring in 3-D glasses.John Richardsim wrote:No, probably not..."They're prescription!

Have the proctors been okay with two pages in one sheet protector, both one-sided and the blank sides in the inside? I did that for disease and dynamic all year. Two pages make the sheet feel less flimsy, which I like.
(Btw, I wasn't actually considering using a larger paper size than allowed, just speculating)

Re: Font Styles and Sizes
I haven't heard of any proctors having a problem with that, although you may want to tape the sheet protector shut, as to verify that you're not just going to write the questions on the test on the back and hand them to someone on your way out or something.SOnerd wrote:Have the proctors been okay with two pages in one sheet protector, both one-sided and the blank sides in the inside?

Re: Font Styles and Sizes
Man, y'all are nuts. Back in my day I never needed to go any smaller than 6 pt, and rarely went smaller than 7.5 pt. But if you're comfortable with ultra-small font sizes, more power to you!

Re: Font Styles and Sizes
I personally wouldn't... if the test is in stations then you could write down a question from one of the stations on the blank side so you'd technically be going back to those questions. It really depends on the proctor. Some do and some don't, but I'd print it double-sided just in case. I got my Meteorology cheat sheet printed on card stock so it was less flimsy (clumsy person, aka prone to destroying things); you can buy cardstock or do it at Staples.SOnerd wrote: Have the proctors been okay with two pages in one sheet protector, both one-sided and the blank sides in the inside?
At Regionals last year, some people had two pages so they had to tape it closed.
Just don't do what an Anatomy team at state did this year... aka have flaps extending off the page, extra information hanging off...

In some events, cough, Bio-Process, cough, you don't even have TIME to refer to the cheat sheet.

It's been scientifically proven that people who have more birthdays live longer...
