Earplugs during the Exam

[TylerTX2000]

I seem to work best in absolute silence (or as close as I can get). Was wondering if I could bring in / use a pair of basic earplugs for the exam?

You are allowed to bring your own soft earplugs or use test center-supplied sound dampening headphones in the test room.

Prometric Regulations
note that there has been some changes to the regulation as a result of COVID. for example, the proctor will no longer have you scanned for metals in order to maintain a social distance.

You can ask the Prometric proctor for earplugs before taking the test (you could ask during the test, but it’s obviously not ideal)

edit: it should be noted that the testing center is fairly quiet. unless you happen to sit next to someone typing the keyboard like a madman (happened to me once)
