i dont have ear plugs and i tried my friends's dr dre headphone
and it was great for killing all the noises

is it okay if i use that during test?
of course, with out any electronic devices like phones or mp3

just headphone



also, besides snacks and drinks
what else do i must bring?
2 ids (both have to have signature?? so school id doesnt work?)
and should i take my dentpin and confirmation e-mail as well?

I'm taking my test tomorrow. I'm bringing my drivers license and credit card as my ID, I'm going to print out my confirmation email and snack and drink. idk if i really should bring ear plugs - never tried them and i don't think i'll bother? is it really that loud there?

I actually emailed the testing center about this for my headphones which wouldnt be plugged into anything. All they said is that nothing is permitted in the testing center except the 2 forms of ID and the headphones they provide. The only noise canceling things you can take in for canceling noise are the small ear plugs but honestly its so quiet in that room they really arent necessary...unless hearing people type bothers you that much lol

I would recommend some ear plugs because during my test they were mowing the lawn right outside the window of my testing center. Only lasted about 5 minutes, but felt like forever!

My testing center actually provided ear cover things at every computer station .I don't know if that is common for other testing centers or not.

The testing center that I went to provided noise-cancelling headphones that worked pretty well. I never really used them while I was prepping for the test, but there were other people in the testing room with me and some of them were kinda loud with their movements, typing, etc.. so I gave the headphones a try. They were quite comfortable, and worked out nicely for me.
As for the 2 i.d.'s I brought a my passport and my driver license.
You don't really need the confirmation email printout and dentpin if I recall correctly, but you can bring them with you if you want to be on the extra safe side.

I'm wishing you all good luck on your exams 🙂

As many have already stated on here, you're not allowed to bring your own noise-cancelling devices. My center provided me with noise-cancelling over-the-ear headphones. I was also allowed to bring in ear plugs provided that they inspect them first. They don't allow outside headphones though.
