Vivian always has her lucky mascot teddy bear at/in hand when she is taking any exam.

Hi,

Which prep. fits better in the above and why? Thanks.

Different.

At hand: close by

In hand: she holds it in her hand (this will really occupy a hand, so I'm not sure if someone would do it, but could, if fanatical about it ...)
