Bring a board for small desks

[tgaffney]

Hi I was previously informed that we can take a board for testing centers that the desks are too small. My testing center has desks that aren't desks they are glorified arm rests... please fill me in. Thanks!!

Hi T,

No, they revoked that option ages ago. That's why we always advise students to select their test centers carefully, and look for big desks. They make a difference

Thanks!

Haha. Hi dave!
I just read you post imagining your voice after listing to about a good 2 days worth of tutorials over the last months. But anyway that sounds very "standardized" any chance I could con my proctor into letting me use it? The rules do state that I have to keep my amswer sheet and test booklet flat on my desk at all times. (Which is impossoble for these pancakes they pass off as desks) and that they would do anything in their power to have adequate testing conditions.... or should I not bother and accept my fate?

Haha, I like it

As I always say, you can give it a shot, but just don't go in there relying on that approach succeeding. Some proctors are certainly more strict than others, so you may get a lax proctor (personally, I'd just walk in there and use it--they can ask you to not use it per the rules as the choose). But if you don't, you'll be at the mercy of those flip-up desks, which I agree are inadequate on so many levels

Thanks!

Thanks!
