What can I / can't I have with me when taking the HPAT?

ACER will send an email prior to the HPAT to all students with details of what you can and cannot take into the exam.

You should take your admission ticket, pencils, eraser, sharpener, water, acceptable ID and a non beeping, analogue watch. Other items such as highlighters, calculators, dictionaries and rulers are not allowed.

You can also find further details in the information booklet released by ACER. This can be found at http://hpat-ireland.acer.edu.au
