Does anyone know what kind of wrist watch I can buy with a silent timer so I can wear it during the MCAT and time myself without the alarm going off?

Phil Anthropist said:Try opening your wristwatch (i.e. unscrew the back as if you were replacing the battery). If you see a little flap of metal sticking up, that part is often used to make sound. If you either cut it off or tape it down with a piece of electric tape (less destructive), the sound should be disabled. And then of course, put the back of the watch back on. This works on many watches...

moogy said:I use this timer when I take practice passages/tests. You can easily silence it by using the methods mentioned above.
Would I be allowed to bring something like this into the actual examination?
