<p>Just curious - I don't think I've heard of a rule against this.</p>
<p>I wish they weren’t I just took the test today and my test center was *****. I sent ACT an email so hopefully they will waive my fees.</p>
<p>Somebody please say they are, you will make my day.</p>
<p>It says you cannot have ear plugs in but it all depends on the proctor. I would take them and see if you get by with it. Don’t take the bright orange ones!</p>
<p>Rats. well hopefully I get a lenient proctor. i’m kinda in the potential position of getting what statlanta complained about - a ****ty test center >o> </p>
<p>Man, this would be so awesome if we were allowed to.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the SAT, but you are allowed to bring earplugs to the MCAT if they are in an unopened package. It can’t hurt to buy a cheap pair and take them to your testing site. If they don’t allow them, make sure you keep the receipt and return them.</p>
<p>I had a friend who didn’t wax her ears for months so that when she “plugged” her ears so to speak, they stayed shut for a while… Totally disgusting… But hey, I guess you could call it strategy ha ha!</p>
<p>^■■■■■! I’m gonna do that…maybe…</p>
<p>Is anyone else highly annoyed with <em>sniff</em> <em>sniff</em> every 5 seconds</p>
<p>yes! My son is. During the ACT today, one kid in the test center finished a section really early and then started picking his afro! My son found that really annoying.</p>
<p>He hears everything and is easily distracted. I think earplugs for kids like that is a great idea. I don’t understand why they are not allowed?</p>
<p>B/C it would disadvantage poor kids who can’t afford earplugs (stupid I know).</p>
<p>Also there could be a hidden microphone in them.</p>
<p>A hidden microphone in an ear plug? I’ve never heard of such a thing! What would they want to be recording?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>What does it mean to wax one’s ears?</p>
<p>haha like clean them… with q-tips</p>
