Test Day Attire

So, This may be a weird topic but... lol.

What do you guys wear to the test center on test day? Do you dress for comfort? Or do you dress professionally? I can never decide so I always end up dressing professionally.

    Dress for comfort. If it's your first time at a center, bring a light jacket and a pair of ear plugs too.

    Because you know someone was going to say it: "you wear clothes to the testing center!?". I, myself, wear comfortable clothing and know what the environment should be like. When I take a test at a local community college, I wear regular everyday clothes. When I go to a slightly shady looking facility downtown, I wear warmer clothes since they tend to be a bit colder in the center.

    I'm always casual. I usually drive about 4 hours to get to the test center. Don't want to be uncomfortable during the test.

    Shorts, t-shirt, zip up hoody, hat, shoes/flip fops depending how I feel, and my lucky underwear. The lucky underwear do get washed after each use.

    A T-shirt that says Keep Clam and pass that test, orange crocks, and some military shorts. haha

    I just wear a T-shirt and jean shorts.

    Whatever you feel most comfortable wearing or preferably what you wore while you studied.

    I wear simple clothes with as few pockets, folds, and layers as possible. If the temperature allows it, short sleeves rather than long ones.

    There's a lot of variation between test centres, but at some the staff are very paranoid about hidden communication devices, notes, etc, and will want to inspect any places that unauthorised things can be concealed. I try to dress in a way that allays any suspicions and reduces stress all round.

    Judging by the vigilance of staff at one particular test centre I use, I suspect that cheating in some types of exams, possibly driving theory tests, is a frequent occurence.

    Like everyone else, I can't even imagine why you'd consider dressing professionally to go to a test center. Normal / comfortable, jeans, sneakers, tshirt, sweatshirt.

    I wear a wool suit. Hotter the weather the heavier the wool. It's important that I have very limited arm movement. I ratchet that tie up to the point my face turns purple and wear the dress shoes that feel like their made of wood.
  • koz24koz24 Member Posts: 766 ■■■■□□□□□□
    Very simple. Whatever first catches my eyes is what I wear, I don't put much thought into it. It's always like 1 guy at the test center who works there and like 5 people taking random tests when I go, so why would I dress up for them?

    I go in with a triple layer adult diaper that can handle over 30lbs of soilage

    very power stuff used by the air force for when they do 40+ hour flights

    I filled the diaper about 80% of the capacity while doing my CCNA

    for A+ I didn't need it since I randomly clicked on the questions which were mostly involving password resets on toasters

    But....
    You get extra points on your test if you wear a 3 pc suit and have your own pen and paper

    Well at the test center I go to in Dubai, they wouldn't let you in without a tux. icon_lol.gificon_lol.gif

    Just kidding of course (but the place is opulent, almost feels like one should be dressed to the nines lol), but I always dress for comfort, I'll take the (very unlikely) chance of meeting a new contact who could open doors for me and I dressed in shorts and a tee shirt, pretty much what I wear outside of work. Exams are stressful enough for me without being distracted by uncomfortable clothes.

    I am usually business casual, pant, shirt, shoe, not because I feel obliged to them, just because it is convenient for me. Usually I just take half a day off when taking a test.. work in the morning, drive 1.5h to the test center, do the exam, then 1.5h drive to go home.

    Pretty much the same way I dress for work, since I return to work after the exam. Most tests are only 2 hours long, the longest exam I took was 5 hours long, that's the only one I went home afterwards.
