PSAT watch timer Question

Test Preparation
1

<p>Hello I am taking the PSAT in October and I recently bought a watch with a silent timer (sound was removed from the watch so it won't beep). I have read a couple of threads in which people said they had used a watch timer during the test. They even said they put the watch on their desk. However I checked the CollegeBoard website and it says
"During the test, students may have nothing on their desks but:</p>

<pre><code>A test book
An answer sheet
No. 2 pencils with erasers
For math sections only, a calculator
</code></pre>

<p>Prohibited items:</p>

<pre><code>Watch alarms
</code></pre>

<p>Does that mean I can't bring a watch with a timer? Please clarify.
Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>If it’s silent (i.e. makes no beep) then I don’t see any problem with bringing one in…</p>

<p>That’s what I plan to do then. Thanks rspence. Do you think I can get away with it on my desk?</p>

<p>Maybe…I guess it depends on how strict the proctor is. The testing room usually has a clock and the proctor will write down what time the section starts/ends.</p>
