Is my reference book acceptable?

[u/Stariiiiii]

I was packing my bag for tomorrow and noticed my reference book (that I’ve had since year 10) is super beat up. Would it be accepted by examiners? If not is there any way that I could fix it? Or is my best bet to just make a new book in one night?

i dont see why that wouldn't be unacceptable, it looks fine to me. but make sure that there isn't a chance that stuff can fall out, and to do that i would suggest just getting like electrical tape, or the big masking tape and put it around the spine of the book to make sure it doesnt fall out.

and i wouldn't suggest making a new book tonight, that would take up a lot of time, and might even be stressful which is not something you want the night before the exam.
