basically yes,

i mean if you associate a sense with an action, you can recall it, like taste, smell, sound etc but you need to have the SAME feeling when you are testing, and since you can't listen to music, perhaps a different alternative might be better?

but that would work against you, since not listening to the music during the test will have a diverse effect now that you conditioned yourself to the music...

I saw a guy in library the other day with headphones on, and had a frowny face, doing hand gestures, lip singing along, and doing his homework... now i believe he was listening to hard rap...probably for the same reasons as you do...lol

i think if you don't do the lip singing and hand gestures, you could improve your timing therefore increasing your score by 10 percentile...lol

yeah he was probably black, which makes it ok haha. i'm asian and live in the "hood" where asians are the minority so if i slipped up and said the "n" word during my study at the library, i'm pretty much done for lol
