Listening to music in GCSE Art Exam 2019 :/

Hi, I'm a GCSE Art student and I'm doing my art GCSE exam in a month's time from now. We will be doing 2 days of 5 hrs (to make 10 hours) and I was thinking of wearing earphones during the exam (wireless ones) underneath my headscarf (I'm a Muslim lol) because I can't focus at all on art without music My teacher said she will let us listen to the radio but tbh I never listen to the radio so it's going to be a really long exam - especially because I tend to get headaches from focusing on drawing for so long. I honestly want to do well but idk if I should go through with it or not because there's a risk of me getting caught and probably disqualified Any opinions or thoughts on what I should do? Really appreciate it.

i get what u mean, music is the only thing that helps me concentrate.maybe you could ask the teacher to put on a certain radio station or music? the plan sounds like it could work,but i guess it depends if ur willing to risk disqualification. if i were you i don't think i would risk it ngl. you could always get some cheap wireless headphones or have anything other than a phone that plays music?it sounds very risky having a phone in ur pocket w wires.good luck anyway, i'm sure u will b great

Thanks for replying and good luck to you too I was thinking of using wireless earphones in the exam but I'm starting to reconsider and I'm thinking about just dealing with it because I'm going to be risking my whole Art GCSE :8 Btw what type of Art do you do? I do GCSE Fine Art and my exam board is OCR.

i don't do art gcse, i just really struggle w concentrating in exams n i'm only ok if i'm revising w music aha. i think you shouldn't risk it tbh,imagine how annoyed you would b with yourself if you got caught.
