2 The above table shows a considerable variation in the frequencies in different areas. You should note that the best setting for your home environment may not be the most appropriate for the examination centre. Centre Supervisors will indicate on the blackboard what the school considers to be the best frequency for that particular locality. The wires connecting the radio and the earphones act as an aerial. For this reason, the reception may vary slightly when you turn your head. Irrespective of the type of radio you are using, you may be able to slightly improve the reception by changing the position of the set on the desktop. If your reception is poor and you cannot improve the situation after several attempts, you may request to move to the special room. Restrictions and requirements for radios Candidates may use Walkmans/Discmans equipped with an FM radio or radio-cassette players. MP3 players are not allowed. The radio must fit comfortably on an exam desktop together with a question-answer book. You are not permitted to use a radio greater than 46 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm (18 x 6 x 6 ). Also, you are not allowed to place your radio on the floor. If you bring a radio to the examination centre which does not satisfy these requirements, you will not be allowed to use it. Instead you will be sent to a special room to take the test. Things to make sure of before the test Make sure that your radio functions properly. Equip your radio with new batteries. The examination centres will not have a stock of spare batteries. If you are using a radio which you have borrowed or recently purchased, make sure you are familiar with its operation. If you use a Walkman/radio-cassette or disc player, make sure that there is no cassette tape/disc inside. Note Candidates are not allowed to leave the examination centre during the test.
