Go with "and", just to be safe.

My &'s always turn out like retarded 3's.
I'm special.

Re: Probably a really dumb question =/

no markers will give a shit

this, i took every abbreviation i could doesnt really matter

but really it wont make much difference anyway

 

[timmyt]

we have been told by teachers who are hsc markers heaps of times that '+' or & are fine..

 

[robertm]

even if it's fine, its proper and right to write it in full

symbols and numbers have no place in an english exam response

Technically, they're not actually interchangeable. & is to be used when connecting like things, 'and' is for conjoining terms.

I went to the beach with a towel, a packet of fish & chips, and sunscreen.

Notice the difference.
