ACTUAL GMAT computer screen - how big?

Question

Hi group,

How big is the actual computer screen on the real GMAT? I find that my widescreen at home makes reading sentence correction and CR more difficult than traditional paper tests have been.

Im sure it could be different everywhere, but the screens at the pearsonvue center where I took my kaplan ultimate practice test was just a standard 15inch lcd screen.

Varies by center I believe. The place I took it the screens were old CRT monitors...absolutely horrible. For what you pay they should be able to provide nicer facilities at most places.

Tarmac · Answer

I think they are either 15 or 17 inch standard LCDs. It was insignificant enough of a factor that I don't remember what size.

!@#!@#!@#!!!!

Let me confirm -- you have to basically turn your head from left to right in order to read a SC or CR question? I absolutely hate that (I've got a 22", and I even hate doing it on my 15" laptop)

I had a 15" Dell LCD. It was way too small.

I have to admit though, by the time I got to the verbal section, I stopped noticing the monitor. The Reading Comprehensions were fairly short. One required some scrolling, but it wasn't too bad.

Tarmac · Answer

Haha, your eyeballs don't move? you should get that checked out by an opthamologist.

How small do you want the monitor to be? you would prefer it be a 10 inch monochrome CRT? Do they even sell monitors smaller than 15" these days?

dominion · Answer

wow, take the stick out tarmac. wait, i'll answer like you.

Haha, you don't like it when members have questions? you should not reply to this thread.

Haha,   you would prefer to waste thread space?

take it out and calm down. i got a question, and if you don't like it... don't respond. show some respect. i work on a 22" or a 24" LCD, and it skews the gmat. even pearson implies small monitors will be more indicative.

Tarmac · Answer

haha what???

I dont understand your responses.

Everyone said its either 15 or 17 inch, and you said thats a terrible disappointment as that's too big and you would have to scan your head back and forth.

What size do you want the monitor to be?

dabots · Answer

I think 17" LCD's are de rigeur nowadays.
