Manhattan GMAT Test Simulation Booklet with Dry Erase Marker
This booklet is
not a must have - people have scored 700+ without it, BUT, consider these arguments:
1. This booklet and pen are exact replicas of what is used at the test center, and the more you can be comfortable with that environment, the better. (This set comes with one pen, but you will actually get 2 at your test center)
2. You are probably not used to writing notes and solving questions on a spiral-bound dry-erase board with a dry-erase marker pen. Having used this pen and board for a test can help you avoid some discomforts and set expectations properly
3. The size of this board (see customer images for comparison) is huge - much larger than expected (larger than
OG 12) - it will take a good portion of your desk space, so again, something else good to know
Available from Amazon.com for $14.28!!!IMPORTANT!!!
Regardless of whether you buy this set of not, remember 2 things:
1. Test the pens at the test center - many report that they get dry pens that do not write and, which ends up wasting time when they have to request new pens during the test time
2. Close the cap of the pen if you don't plan to write for more than 5-10 mins as it will dry up the pen

[quote2SeniorFlunky]I think it is worth mentioning that you are not guaranteed to get a pad that resembles this one. Whilst I think in the US they will likely always be this format when I took the test in the UK the pads were laminated white A4 pages with a heavily ruled rectangular grid (each "cell" being approx 10mm wide by 7mm tall).
The pens were the same though and to be honest the colour / size of the paper shouldn't be that big an issue.[/quote2]
