No you cannot!. No accessories are allowed inside the test centre, you'd be required to keep them in a locker

Watch... still ok.

Even you cannot wear your belt. So, if someone has huge belly, better to wear tight trousers

No. No accessories allowed. I told watch still ok means because it hardly matter whether wearing watch. During my GMAT test shift, there was a fat guy and they ask him to remove his belt then he barely able to manage his pants. He requested them to allow belt but they didn't pleased. Anyway they working as per they instructed.

So, if you are habitual of wearing accessories and feel uncomfortable without them, then better practice giving the practice test without them.

Im guessing glasses ( prescription ones) are OK :-)

Also, I've been practicing studying with ear plugs - can I carry my own or shall they provide me with one?
