Hi Kim,
Are we allowed to use disposable foam ear plugs during exams (to block noise)? could not find any relevant info online
Thank you,
On the basis that headphones/ear phones are specifically prohibited, I would say that non-electronic items to put in your ears are permitted. I would advise that you have them displayed before the exam starts/ask the invigilator for permission, so you aren’t interrupted during the exam.
In terms of remote exams, I found the following- “No headsets, earplugs, earbuds, no scrap paper,
no additional monitor, no additional food or drink”.Agreed, but remote exams should be sat in a quiet location, unlike an exam centre. In an exam centre an invigilator can see if ear plugs are foam. And there’s no harm in asking before using.
@Robo2795 thank you for sharing that information about centres in the UK
