Whispering during MCAT?

Hello everyone,

For as long as I can remember, whenever I have had to read something, I have always read out loud because it helps me focus and retain the information much better. I understand that I obviously cannot read out loud during the actual MCAT (and I definitely do not want to disturb those around me), but I would like to know if it is acceptable to whisper as quietly as I can to myself when reading CARS passages? I have extreme difficulty focusing on the CARS passages. My mind wanders off as I read. Whispering would tremendously help me. Would I get in trouble for it? And would other people be able to hear me if I whispered (I'm not sure how far apart people sit from one another during the exam)?

I would really appreciate your answers!

No talking is allowed. People may be close enough to hear you.

You can get reported for it, so don't do it. It is disruptive to other test takers, and someone could accuse you of cheating.
