Followup question, are test takers allowed to bring a bottle of water and place it in the lockers? I am seeing conflicting information online. The official MBA website says drinks are not permitted, so I am assuming this is the rule now?

If you can look up the info, consider calling up your test center to ask. Asking other questions such as when is a good time to book an exam when there are fewer students about could also be helpful.

All the best,

I think it's a new rule. In the past, it was the case that you could bring a snack and a drink. So, I guess you're seeing conflicting information for that reason.

Hi gmatstudyer123,

Before you are allowed into the Computer Lab, you will be given a locker and key for your personal items (wallet, cell phone, jacket, etc. - you're not allowed to take anything into the Computer Lab). You ARE allowed to access your locker during your two 8-minute breaks though, meaning that you can leave a drink and snack in the locker and consume them during either break. You CANNOT take food/drink into the Computer Lab though. As an aside, you should NOT attempt to use your cell phone until after your Exam is over, as trying to do so can be viewed as a violation of Exam rules.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi gmatstudyer123,

You are not given an eraser; however, you can ask for another notebook if you run out of room.

Hi gmatstudyer123,

Where have you seen this rule? Test takers were never permitted to bring food or water into the test room, but have always been allowed to have food/water during the breaks when they are outside the test room (test takers can't leave the center during the breaks).
