passages on RC take longer, how many passages are there per Verbal section?
Can I bring my own earpeice/sound blockerss (the ones that look like headphones- don't know the terminology)?
If I select my last answer choice in a section do I need to hit next on it for it to save? Will it be unmarked? Hitting next on the last question in each section should end that section no? What if I want to mark the last answer and then review some previous answers if I have time remaining?
caffeine during latter half, I feel like this is a good strategy? Would I be able to walk out of the center to buy caffeine or go to my locker to buy caffeine?
Any limit on the number of bathroom breaks in case I want to walk around if I'm done early on a section or just stand up in place(any penalty for this)? I have two spinal hernias and its just to much of a PIA to seek accomodation, not to mention I no longer have insurance. Being in one position for so long is physically painful. Can I just walk out and tell the instructor on the way out or do I have to wait for them to come in ? I had a painful GMAT experience a couple years back with instructors who were extremely unprofessional in this regard.
On a written GRE how much scrap apaper are you given? Do you have to handwrite your essays? On the GRE are you given a notebook with a marker or pencil?

You should contact ETS regarding this before the test. Although I have a feeling your GRE experience would be quite similar to GMAT as they have similar rules
On a written GRE how much scrap apaper are you given? Do you have to handwrite your essays? On the GRE are you given a notebook with a marker or pencil? YES scrap paper is provided
Hope this helped.
