NICS aptitude test - what to wear?

I've an aptitude test tomorrow morning for the CS. As its four hours of testing i'm assuming its just casual clothes rather than smartly dressed but i don't want to make a fool of myself. Has anyone been to one before and can put my mind at rest? Thanks in advance peeps:D

    It is only like an exam room so casual clothing will be fine. Good Luck we need loads of staff.

    I did the grad one a few years back - id say smart casual (though I think I wore a tie to be sure)
  • Like everyone else has said, casual clothes should be fine.

    And good luck with the test :)
  • casual will be fine. they tested literally thousands of people last time around and don't fret - you'll not get all the answers answered!! but take an extra jacket just in case the room i was in wasn't that warm!

    I just wore jeans and a hoody
  • its the graduate staff officer post. i think the tests are a little different this year so smart casual would be the way forward. they cant base anything on your appearance anyways so you wont lose marks that way!
    as the other poster says, just try to finish the test and dont worry about getting stuck on one question. just move on.
