Title: Dictionaries in the GAT
Post by: ech_93 on June 15, 2011, 08:23:58 pm

Are we allowed to bring a dictionary into the GAT?
I thought we were allowed to, but everyone I talk to doesn't think so.....

From the 2011 GAT Exam Cover:

• Students are permitted to bring into the examination room: pens, pencils, highlighters, erasers,
sharpeners, rulers, and an English and/or bilingual dictionary.

Really! That's interesting. I thought basically every confusing word was nicely accompanied by a dictionary reference at the bottom.
