Without a doubt, use original copies for the exam.  Not only does it appear more "professional," photocopies for this purpose may violate copyright law depending on the work copied and the editions involved

7.4 Photocopies
We subscribe to the Music Publishers Association’s Code of Fair Practice (available at www.mpaonline.org.uk/Publications/The_Code_of_Fair_Practice_in_Full.html), which states:
‘Nothing done for the purpose of an examination (including continuous assessment) infringes copyright, except that candidates performing a musical work in an examination may not use reprographic copies’.
What this means in practice is that:
· you must bring an original copy of the music to the examination room (even if you play/sing from memory)
· you can give a photocopy of this original copy to the examiner
· all photocopies supplied to the examiner will be retained after the examination and destroyed
· if there is no original in the room and you play from photocopies you are liable to disqualification.

That's the Trinity website and seems to answer your question.
