Use of Dictionaries by Students in Examinations

19.1  Dictionaries of any type are not permitted to be used in examinations except where the specific instructions for the examination permit it (for example, in some 'open-book' format examinations where students may access any material or book). In the event of any doubt, a candidate should check with their School in advance of such an examination as to what is permitted.
