You cannot have anything that audibly "ticks" as that could disturb another candidate - most analogue watches are fairly quiet but an alarm clock has the propensity to vibrate on the desk disturbing those around you -
Not all alarm clocks tick! Mine does not ( I cannot sleep if I have an alarm clock ticking besides me

).
I had my alarm clock for my GCSE and AS level exams... and for my exams at uni some 28-30 years ago!
For my GCSE and AS level, it is true that we were a small number of students in the room.Clocks on the wall are not always in working order, so I have learnt to be on my guards.

I assume though that, your invigilator takes your alarm clock apart before every exam to ensure there are no notes hidden inside? Possibly slightly easier to do in a college where there are less candidates taking the exam?
You cannot really hide anything in an alarm clock, can you? No, I do not cheat, but I like to keep an eye on the time.
This was just a suggestion...I do not want to enter into any argument.
