Shoe Requirements at Test Center

This may seem like a silly question but given the number of bizzarre test center requirements (such as the requirement that earplugs must be in new, unopened packages*), I just want to be sure -- I'm allowed to wear flip flops during the test right?

*I never understood this requirement. It's not like we can hide anything in the earplugs after we open the package... I've had to go to 3 pharmacies just to find a pack that's actually sealed and not in a zip-lock type bag (just so they wouldn't find an excuse and say I can't use them because the package has been opened).

You'd be surprised at what some people do to cheat on the MCAT. I bet there's small enough transmitters out there to fit inside earplugs.

Anyways, I'm sure flip flops are fine. I wore crocs and had no problems.

I just needed ID. And if I remember right, you're not supposed to take your shoes off, sandals included.

I'd wear shoes into the center and put flip flops into your locker. My center was freezing so it would have been uncomfortable if I had no socks/shoes.
