In my opinion ear plugs are essencial. I took my own ear plugs (those that are like a foam take you put into the ear), but the test center also provided me with another type that looks like a headphone. I used both and they were really helpful. They are practical and you won't lose concentration with the noise of people typing, breathing or groaning. I strongly support that you take yours! Good luck!

I got standard issue earplugs at the test center - the foam kind you'd get at any drugstore. I'd been practicing taking tests using them, so I decided to use them on test day as well.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information.

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
