Smartwatches and Headphones during Exams?
Check the rules for digital devices to be fully prepared for your written exam.
From March 1, 2025, you are allowed to bring smartwatches, headphones, and other digital devices to written exams. If you're easily distracted by surrounding noises, noise-canceling headphones might be a smart choice.
However! Before packing your bag, it's important that you check the rules on what you can bring and how you’re allowed to use digital devices. Failure to follow these rules could be considered cheating.
You can find all the rules on AU’s website under "Know the rules when you have an exam". Pay special attention to the section "Digital devices" – it specifies exactly what you may bring and how you are permitted to use it.
Good luck with your exam!
Best regards,
