PACE should be able to do it (right opposite S5, I believe? Or S6, I get the two mixed-up). First year chem labs might, but that exam has passed, so don't quote me on it.

Can't you just go to the Faculty of Science office and get it done? If not, and an engineering sticker is fine, you can certainly do this at the Faculty of Engineering office in building 72.

Only about as inappropriate as I reckon Thursday would be, but that's never stopped the people on res!

Guys do all calculators have to be stickered? I don't even know what I'm supposed to do.. I have an exam on tuesday for which I'm allowed to use a scientific calc so can't I just take that in? Do I have to go all the way to clayton to get it done? :\

You must have a sticker or the calculator is not allowed to be used. They should have mentioned this in class?

I have heard that if you take it in unstickered, the invigilators give you a declaration to fill out where you write the make and model of the calculator (source:stalkerspace). However, i've also heard on stalkerspace that some people have had their calculators confiscated (thats more of a friend of a friend type thing though it seemed).

Overall, i would not risk it to be honest. IDK where you live, it takes me 2 hours to get to Clayton so i sympathise but if you're allowed a calculator, it's obviously a crucial piece of equipment for the exam, i wouldn't be taking any chances with it. That said, to the best of my knowledge, they'll very likely just give you that declaration, if you feel comfortable with that don't worry about the sticker.

You can get drunk anytime of the day.

I've never used a stickered calculator and haven't even had someone look twice (or once) at it.  Although I'm getting the impression that commerce exams might be less strict about it.

It's obviously better just to do it, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Good point, still might show up to Clayton early just in-case though.

How is everyone else finding exam period? I only have one exam left but i'm really stressed about it. It's SCI1020 (the easiest math im allowed to take and still satisfy my math requirement). So, it's not actually all that difficult, i just more worry about the lack of time i've got and my ability to retain it all. It's Wednesday too! I kind of neglected it in favour of all my other subjects (kind of a bad idea since the exam is 60% of this subject, my other subjects only had 20-30% exams).

I suppose two days and a bit is plenty to study for a subject but i still can't help but feel overwhelmed. Anyone got any exam study tips, especially considering how close it is? Don't skip over the (seemingly) obvious stuff like try practice exams either.

So I'm pretty sure I may have failed my last exam due to difficulty, poor effort, silly mistakes etc. etc.
Anyways, upon calculating possible exam marks I may achieve, I came to the conclusion I might just pass, or just fail.
Is it possible the chief examiner has the ability to take a look at students who achieved say, a 48 and bump them up to 50 based upon their discretion? (e.g. based off other factors such as tutorial attendance, quality of errors on exam etc.) or is this a rare, or non occurring, possibility?
