Was it noisy when you took the test because I heard others are also in the same room and they are taking other tests that involves typing and what not... Thanks for the input!🙂

depends on whose taking the test in the same room, but either way you get ear plugs, or in my case HUGE plastic orange ear muffs (talk about COMPLETE silence).


don't forget to dress warm!

gluck!

Are the ear plugs annoying? And were there others typing cause I can't concentrate if there's too much sound in the room..🙁

like i said, depends on the testing center...i have the same problem, i need complete silence in order to concentrate. The ear muffs were pretty comfortable and provided complete silence, so keep you fingers crossed.


As for if anyone was typing...i'm sure there were, because as i was waiting for my test a few people went in to take the GREs, which have mad typing, but once again those ear muffs kept it so quiet that I didn't even notice.

what do u mean by keep ur fingers crossed...

 

[bruinpredent]

i mean keep your fingers crossed that you get the ear muffs (no joke, the sort of thing you'd use at a shooting range) instead of cheap foam earplugs.

they let me wear my own ear plugs. i doubled up with the big orange ear muffs though. also, don't dress incredibly warm, dress in layers at best. my place was off the chain, i started sweating as soon as i walked in there. right before i went in i saw this broad come out sweating. she was a big girl, it was a little repulsive.

my center was extremely cold...I had to put my jacket on the whole time...it seemed like the AC was blowing right at my face, plus I was really nervious, that makes it even worse. In my center, 2 people share 1 table, and the guy sitting on the other side of the table kept moving the table, it was soooooo annoying...

im really paranoid about this sound thing...so everybody that took their test..did u get ear muffs at ur testing center?
