Agreed, it's not surprising that different schools have different policies on uniform in exams, just as they have differing policies on uniform during the rest of the year.
My school's attitude was that you were a pupil of the school until the official valediction day in July, well after the exams were over. That meant that when on school premises you behaved *exactly* as you would on any other day. Furthermore, as you were still a pupil, study leave was considered a pivilege, not a right, and could be revoked at any time. This was the nuclear option when dealing with bad behaviour among fifth years ... making you sit in an empty classroom, in uniform, to do your revision there, rather than at home (or, more likely, out on the town with your mates).
I'd be curious to know if there's any correlation between schools with strong uniform policies and discipline/academic achievement.
