I've read the
OG and what it says about what to expect on test day, but I have some questions that weren't answered and I haven't found answers anywhere else. Hopefully someone with some test experience can answer these
The AWA, is it typed or handwritten? I'm assuming typed, since the rest of the test is typed but I just want to be sure.
I usually like to hand-write my notes on essays of that format. Do they give you a scratch pad for this part of the test?
What is the deal with the scratch pads? Do you only get one for the whole test? Are you limited to one per section?
Some of the things I've read about what you can bring with you are confusing. GMAC says no personal items, but read something somewhere that suggested ear plugs are ok. I was planning to bring earplugs... are they ok to bring?
Breaks. I assume people will finish sections more or less around the same time. Does that mean there is a rush of people getting in and out of the testing room?
Also, what if people do not finish sections at the same time, or if you finish early for example? Is everyone on the same clock for the test, or does each individual have their own timer?
