just spit that shat out. The mcat testing centering isn't only for you. there will be other who may be bothered by it. What? they can use the headphones? That's their choice but you shouldn't be giving them a reason to use it.
This should even be a question. Use your damn head.
I also find the sound of gum chewing distracting but what's up with the hostility?
There was a girl in my testing center who chewed gum during the test; it was fine. Between all the ambient computer noises/clicking/typing/writing/normal human noises, I didn't notice at all. Be advised though that you can't bring in a gum WRAPPER or anything to spit the gum into when you're done. You have to swallow it or wait for a break to get rid of it.
I chewed gum when I was taking it. They made me bring in a sheet of tissue to spit it out on that if I wanted to, not on the original wrapper.
I wasn't planning on sitting there cracking bubbles and distracting everyone, no need for the nasty comments.
I am pretty sure the girl in my test center was also allowed a tissue, but there's some rule about only getting one tissue at at time (i.e. you need to throw out the old one in front of the proctor before you can get a new one - LOL) sooo just be aware of that, if you think you'll actually need a tissue for something other than gum during the test.
Same
I chewed gum like all through studying so I think I asked this exact question a year ago haha. It was no problem.
