I have put sticky note "bookmarks" in my dictionary with the letter of each section i.e. a sticky note saying "a", "b" etc to mark out each letter section of my dictionary. Would I be permitted to bring the dictionary into the exam or is that banned by VCAA?
I can't find anything on the website about it; it simply says
Language Written Examinations – Any printed monolingual and/or bilingual dictionary in one or two separate volumes.
Dictionaries may be consulted during reading time and throughout the above examinations, but must not contain any highlighting or annotation.
Dictionaries are NOT permitted in any other examination including Language oral examinations.
Dictionaries that contain a thesaurus are NOT permitted. Electronic dictionaries are NOT permitted.
I am unsure whether writing a single letter on the sticky notes constitutes "annotation"?
