I'm just wondering about digital watch usage on the MCAT. I know watches that beep are prohibited. However, I'm wondering if my watch would be considered a beeping watch (and thus prohibited) or not. The button I press in order to start and stop the stopwatch function causes a slight 'chirp' to be emitted. I don't really need to hit it to stop it at the end of every section (could wait until breaks to stop it and reset it), but I'd need to hit the button at every start of a section. It is not a loud or very noticable noise, and thus I don't consider it the same as a stopwatch that beeps obnoxiously and repeatedly. However, I don't want to risk it and have the possibility of encountering problems with using it on Aug 19.
Any suggestions? Should I spend the time to look for and buy a wholly non-sound-emitting digital watch? Should I just train myself to use my current watch without resetting it to zero at each section (start it and run it continuously and having to do mental math during every section to figure out how much time I have)? Should I get used to using an analog watch?
