Yes, you can wear headphones - out in the parking lot, maybe in the lobby -
but not in the lab.
However, the proctor may enjoy them while you take your seat! (YMMV)
Don't even take a phone in unless you have a very good reason.
My last attempt - My daughter was days/hours from being born;
I had a pretty good reason to bring my phone/PDA/MP3/BT/BS_player.
I told the proctor I could get the call any minute and the Proctor(s) let me
keep it "on", at their desk...
The ear plug tip is the best and only way I know of to block out the "noise".
Unless you like chewing gum - you can stick some of that in your ears.
Maybe Silly Putty? (not sure, email Cisco on that one - you may have to sign a
disclaimer or something?)
One (useful?) comment about the earplugs;
They may be more useful if you actually use them while preparing for the lab.
I am used to wearing headphones or ear plugs all day anyway.
Otherwise people would want to communicate with me and I would never get
anything done!
Happy Monday,
~M

Are you allowed to use headphones?
