From the International Baccalaureate Handbook of Procedures, section on I.B. testing:

G11.11 Personal belongings not required for the examination must be removed from candidates. However, articles which a candidate may consider a “lucky charm” or similar may be placed on a candidate’s desk/table at the discretion of the coordinator. The article must be thoroughly inspected to ensure that it does not provide unauthorized material.

(I was surprised as much by the inconsistent number as by the specifically enumerated allowance for mystical items. I wonder if this isn’t a translated document.)

And from a student essay on materialism:

I know for a fact that majority of young people are very consumed with making monkey.
