Have sensitivity to background noise? 🎧 While testing at the DRC, we offer sound-reduction headphones, in addition to the white noise machines outside of the testing spaces. These muffle sounds and allow you to lock in during your time here ✍️ Let a staff member know that you’d like to use a pair and try them out during your next exam!
