HAHA..yeah I can see that being an issue! My testing location only has a couple curbs in the parking lot I have to go over. Last time I took the test my books were overflowing from my little crate which resulted in this story.
Was it full size? Did you have any issues with space around your desk during the exam? That's the main reason I haven't tried that yet.
Why do you think you will have plenty of time? I thought that 6 mins per question is not very much to start with. My exam is in Holiday Inn if someone can comment of the space you get? I presume this is going to be in one of the conference hall.
Headphones are not allowed. And earplugs bother me, so I was actually better off without them. I did take some earplugs, but never used them.
You won't be allowed to wear headphones but I strongly suggest ear plugs, in particular, try the Hearos brand, they're very comfortable and block out nearly all the noise. It's just enough for you to be able to stay focused on the exam and not be distracted by people coughing in the room, dropping stuff or other types of noise.
I like this on a long flight. A free business class for the price of economy. I won't wish this for anyone for PE exam though.
I had a whole 6 ft table to myself. Might even have been 8 ft, as I had a crate on each side of my chair, and some wiggle room.
YES. I had a dude like that once. When we came back from lunch, I told him he was a very aggressive eraser-er. He wasn't as bad in the afternoon.
Yes, it was normal. I'm sure proctors thought i was a mess. I literally had books all around me and i was ferociously looking through them. I had some at my feet, under my chair, on my desk, behind me, in the suitcase etc. No one complained or asked me to move anything. As long as it wasn't in the walkway I assumed it was fair game.
there were literally questions i answered in 15 secs or less. if you are prepared, you will have some very easy ones and you will spend time on the hard ones. I had time to search every index of every book. Now there weren't 10-15 of these questions where I had no clue and was searching for a needle in a haystack, but there were maybe 2-3. And i found the needle on two of them. I work in a very old company and very old power books are laying around. I looked through them and took them if they seemed at all useful. Then skimmed the indexes during exam day for that topic.
I can see myself in similar situation on April 5th, I have so many reference materials. I even think it will be embarrassing on the exam day.
Will you be inserting it behind a clear plastic cover? If so I would think you're good. If not I would just tape your cover sheet down. All of my binders are different colors so I know when I come to a Protection problem that's in my blue binder, motors are in purple so on and so forth. In each binder I have inserted a piece of paper behind the plastic cover with topics for that binder just in case I freeze up and forgot which color binder has which topics . I'm a multiple time test taker and no one has said anything to me about the loose piece of paper behind the plastic cover.
