i believe it depends on the test center location. i took it in the states and i got foam ear plugs.

thanks....i know they have both!
my question was do u have any idea what kind of headset and what kind of earplugs they give?

[niraj_a]

small foam ear plugs that go inside your ear - the kind one wears at formula one races

Oh you are serious I think you should worry about that chair you will be sitting on for 4 hours.

So do you really think that people paid attention to what KIND and BRAND those things are ?

wow!!!

They are definitely not APPLE or BOSE :roll:

I'll agree with everyone above. The ones they give you are pretty cheap and uncomfortable. Personally, I find the feeling of having something stuck in my ear more distracting than the minimal noise that other test takers make, so I don't use them, but do whatever works for you. I would encourage you to take your practice tests in places that have a little background noise (such as a library) to get used to it.
