What to bring to the testing center on test day?

[Dreamstoo]

I know you need your ID but what else? Also is the driving license good enough for an ID?

That's all you have to bring.

I'd bring some food too.

 

[Dreamstoo]

I've heard they provide pens and pencils, should I just bring myself just in case?

You can't take your own things in there. And they don't provide pens. Just #2 pencils and a scratch paper packet.

Wow thanks, didn't know that. Do we need a printout of our AAMC confirmations?

No

No

Thanks man, good luck tomorrow.

Bring the AAMC confirmation just in case...

I read on one of the threads here that a person went to take the MCAT but the testing center could not find them on the roster so he showed them the AAMC confirmation and was thus able to take the test.

@SwedishMD2B - What about ear plugs?

I've heard that an unopened pack of earplugs is allowed.

Really so just because my earplugs aren't in a package I can't use them? That just really stinks...

your game face

Yeah you can bring those. You have to show it to them. They are supposed to be sealed but they will make you throw the packaging away...

I have no idea. My test is tomorrow and I intend on bringing an unopened pack. You'll have to confirm with people who have tried to bring their earplugs in without any seal or package.

Yeah, I guess I will buy some earplugs at riteaid for like $5. No big deal, ty.

Mine were never packed. They always let me use them. But the rule says that they are supposed to be packed...

So I dunno what your center will do.

I strongly recommend bringing some candy or chocolate for breaks. Treat yo self. (Also simple carbs are A+ for some quick energy so they have a dual purpose)

lol kind of unrelated, but my friend who sat for MCAT the other day said that during the breaks there was this kid that was doing pushups/and burpees. My buddy said the kid looked like a freak of nature…yolked as fukkk apparently. Said he was gunning for orgo…#gainzz

Best of luck tomorrow! Channel your inner mamba

What's "yolked"????

 

[bambam92]

Yolked think of as middle linebacker size. I.e. 6' 250 lbs. Basically just built like a bull. Whereas shredded would be a wide receiver build, more lean and cheetah like you could say. I will attach a pic of a yolked up mother xxxxxx --it is Brian Cushing back at his USC days with test and HGH running strong….haha he is an animal though.

Wouldn't that be yoked, if it's being derived from the whole bull thing?

Haha yes, technically a yoke would indicate the harness one would attach to a bull to pull a load or w.e. But on Bodybuilding.com me and several members like to spell it out as "yolked" for emphasis. But your spelling is correct, and mine is wrong.

s'OK, I just picture Gaston swallowing 5 dozen raw eggs instead to stay 'roughly the size of a barrrrrrrge!'
...I was more disappointed that it wasn't derived from that than anything!
