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.

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
― Hunter S. Thompson
