Question Can I bring EARPLUGS to the UKCAT exam?!?...sorry this is a weird question.

I was wondering whether I could bring in earplugs to the exam.
(sorry, i do realize that this is a v. irritating question..)

It's just that last time I took the exam there were so many people clicking (prob. taking their Hazard Perception bit of the driving test ).
And I'm one of those people who needs almost complete silence during an exam.
Although I got used to the 'clicking' towards the end... I just wanted to know whether I'm allowed to bring earplugs in or not?? Does anyone know?

I don't want them to think that i'm cheating or anything...

Anyone else tried doing this???

They actually gave me ear plugs rather than headphones

The hazard perception is a bitch...

They give you earplugs.

I was lucky enough to get put in a seperate room with one computer and it was dead silent, maybe I was lucky, but i suppose you could ask them if you could be put in a seperate room
