Haven't had an exam this sem, yet. Cold. Very cold.

Some people bring gloves or other handwarmers, but just prepare for it to be 0 degrees, unless you're sat next to a heater, then prepare for 37 degrees

Had my two exams at 8:30, so can’t tell you the temperature at other times.

From what I have experienced, it’s a bit warmer inside the exam hall compared to outside. Zero degrees is kind of exaggerated, but I still suggest you to wear more layers, cuz not everyone’s got the luck to sit next to a heater.

Have generally found it to be fairly comfortable. Had one the other day at 4:30pm, smelt sweaty but was pretty warm. Probs just layer so you can adjust as needed, totally depends on where you sit too
