Hi everybody,

This is my second post on this forum. I have an important test center strategy that helped me do well on the GMAT, even possibly helping me break the 700 mark. I would like to share it with you.

I wrote my test at the Durham Computer College Center in Pickering, Ontario. The lady at the front desk offered me an ear muff when I was about to write the exam. I used the ear muff throughout the exam and I am positive that the silence helped me focus much better. I was in a room with 4 other people writing different tests on computers so the typing and clicking sounds would have disturbed me.

Since this is my first GMAT exam, I am unsure whether this is standard practice or not, but if it isn't, I definitely recommend that you ask your test center in advance to provide one.

Not sure of the practice outside of the USA, but it's definitely a standard practice in the USA to offer testers ear plugs. To me, it's an absolute necessity. I'd bring my own if they didn't offer it. Good suggestion Ed.

Earmuf/Earbuds are helpfull

I recently gave my test from Kolkata, India. I asked the center people if they had earmuff and I was provided a nice earmuff(orange one). Yes it helps a lot to concentrate.

Keep Rocking,

well what i knew is that in GMAT exams they donot provide the ear muffs , if they do so then i really wants to know that in Pakistan test centeres whether they do or not . Because my GMAT teacher told me that THEY DO NOT. Please clarify this.
