(no subject)

In all my exam anxiety I mentioned to my parents that I'll do well if I have my music, because I know that well enough to be able to block it out as opposed to people scribling down their answers faster than me, which will freak me out. They then said, surprise in their voice, "are you allowed to have music at the exam? Because aren't you able to cheat by recording formulars and stuff? Don't they get confiscated before the exam?". And now I'm completely freaked out! I have never heard of this before, but what if it's true? What if I won't be able to listen to music during those three hours? I'll go absolutely blank and completely fail the exam.

Have any of you heard of this before?
