    Tomorrow is my first test and I want to make sure I dress properly…

    I don’t want to be like that guy who wears jeans to a wedding…

    Don't wear a suit!!!

    Be comfortable and have layers available in case the room is cold.

    Good luck tomorrow!

    NO!

    Wear the most comfortable thing in your dresser. It's just you and the computer in there (and a few other people probably taking other various exams). No need to stress over anything other than the questions, especially which tie to go with your shirt.

    I just got home from my exam and I looked like a wierdo. I dressed up like I am playing ultimate frisbee. Reason: my pants have no pockets and it keeps me warm. Every minute is precious especially when you don't waste time checking your pockets….

    The only reason I don't show up in yoga pants and a sweatshirt to my exams is because A) I'm not quite sure who I'm going to run into, so jeans are probably more appropriate, and B) I usually end up running errands or meeting up with friends afterwards without going home first. 🙂

    I wear no pocket pants, bring nothing but my id and NTS, and flip flops and a t-shirt. You want them to seriously check all your pockets on a suit? Not me. Keep it simple.

    F- Not Yet Taken

    I rock the yoga pant…I don't care how bad they look! They are comfy and no pockets to have to turn out.

    lol, yoga pants all the way for me: (1) my #1 concern is comfort, and (2) it amused me when the ladies wanted to check my pockets and I didn't have any.
