bigdipper21 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hey everyone, I just had a quick question regarding the MCAT protocol, I've heard that you're not allowed to bring in anything into the actual test center rooms other than your ID and earplugs in packages. I've heard you can't bring water bottles in is this true? If this is the case are you allowed to put a piece of chewing gum inside your mouth before you enter the room? Is there anywhere you can spit during the exam frequently? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lactic Folly Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I'm not current with MCAT procedures, but have you checked your testing centre's website for FAQs and procedures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperfection Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Not sure if this applies to all testing centers, but the one that I went to, you weren't allowed to bring anything into the testing center except ID & earplugs. Definitely were not allowed to bring water bottles or chew gum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PastaInhaler Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 The rules state that food or drinks are not allowed in. Gum is in a sort of a grey area, but why chance it? Chewing gum may come off as a disruption, and you really don't want to chance disturbing your neighbour. If you are worried about your sugar levels crashing, I suggest you find snacks that have a low glycemic index, and eat them before each section. Have a mild source of caffeine to keep you focussed and alert, but don't take too much. Keep hydrated during the breaks, but you don't need to have water with you while testing because you aren't giving a speech and talking for 70 minutes or 60 minutes straight. Another break is right around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
