Highly recommend a basic watch, extra calculator (same as your other one), and EAR PLUGS. My first attempt I didn't have ear plugs and someone directly behind me was chewing ice after our lunch break....BRING EAR PLUGS.

Hey that's great and congratulations!! Glad I could help, and I bet it felt really good but also concerning when you finish an hour or so early on the exam? haha But it does give you a lot more confidence for sure.
