This guidance is paired with a formidable manifesto on examination purity. The commission constructs a clear border around intellectual conduct, proscribing a suite of modern crutches. Programmable calculators, a plethora of study materials, and the entire pantheon of connected gadgets are exiled from the testing halls. In this sanitized arena, the only admissible resources are the examinee’s cultivated knowledge and the authorized excerpts from the country’s building law.
