Hi,

Is it possible to change the font size on the real GMAT exam?

I noticed that while practicing the official GMAT questions & tests, the text font is way smaller than what I am used to.
I am having a hard time reading and understanding the text, I become exhausted quickly and feel my eyes' discontent.
(as a side note - I do wear glasses, with a very small number. I usually have no problem staring at a screen for many hours)

No, you will not be able to change the font size when at the test center.

And how about GMAT Online- Is there any way to increase the font size? Can I set-up my system font size LARGE enough by default that would lead to higher font size in the browser?

PS- I underwent LASIK surgery 5 years ago and my eyes are super sensitive. Infact, sitting for more than 1 hour at a stretch causes burning sensation in my eyes and leads to headache. I need to take frequent breaks at 20 mins interval during my regular studies/prep sessions.

Hence, staring at the screen for 3 hours during the real GMAT exam is not just a challenge for me but indeed a daunting task. I am mentally preparing myself to bear the pain in my eyes that would start amid the Verbal section and live with it as long as the exam lasts.

Hi Pankaj0901,

I do not believe it is possible. You could also reach out to the folks a GMAC to get confirmation.

Thanks ScottTargetTestPrep. I'll write to GMAC and get details before scheduling my test date. I never knew this was also an option. I will further share here whatever GMAC responds.
