testing center..

[doc29]

my testing center is an hour and twenty mins away from my house, and i am thinking if i should get a hotel near the center the night before the exam..or not.
My exam is at 8:30am, and the traffic in miami is really bad in the mornings.

I think you should--you don't need one more thing to worry about the morning of the test. AHHHH I can't believe mine is almost here!!!!

yeah, i agree

 

[NoWayOut]

I think you should too. Don't take any chances. I plan on doing the same thing. Like PediatricsRocks said..you don't need anything else stressing you out before the test.

Prolly a good idea!

I don't think you should for two reasons-

1) you might not get good night sleep in hotel room. Bed might not be comfy.

2) other guests at the hotel might be loud and spoil your sleep.

I would sleep in my own bed and listen to goljan on your way to testing center.

im gonna keep checking the prometric site to see if theres any seat available in the center thats close to my house... last time i checked, it was full till end of july.

If that's possible, that would definitely be best.

If not, definitely stay at a hotel the night before. You don't want to be stuck in a traffic jam and miss your test! If I was in your situation, I would stay at a hotel the day before, but luckily my test center is only a 15 minutes drive from my place.

Goodl luck!

yayy..i finally got a seat in a center thats 20 mins away from my place, but its a few days earlier than my initial date..god im going crazy

btw, are we allowed to bring ear plugs/inhaler into the exam room?
Do i need to make a special request if i wanna take my inhaler w/me?

congrats doc29! That's good news.

You're allowed to bring ear plugs.

I don't know about the inhaler. I'm sure they'll let you take it in with you but I don't know if you need to tell them beforehand or not.
