I wonder if your screen may be zoomed in .... Try CTRL and "-" on your browser or adjust the resolution or CTRL+0. You may also want to adjust scaling in the OS settings
This has nothing to do with the physical size of the screen but rather the resolution of the screen.
Here is how it looks for me for example. I do use 125% scaling in windows so it would have been even smaller at 100%

Hello bb,

Ah okay. I use 125% scaling on my windows too, with 1920x1080 resolution maxed out.

However yes, I am zoomed at 125% with CTRL + on my browser (For my blind eyes xD ).

I changed to 100% and it seems a little better now.

Thankyou, I appreciate your help :)

Hm... I don't want to hurt your eyes either so perhaps we will see about setting the minimum size of the passage box....
(though keep in mind that the GMAT is not friendly to zooming/scaling/etc). You may have a bit more freedom with the GMAT Online by setting your OS scaling but not at all at the test center, so you will have to squint potentially there (it was somewhat an unpleasant surprise for me as well).

Thanks again for the feedback!

That's so nice of you to consider the feedback. Thanks !!

And yes, I did face hard time during my GMAT attempt due to my severe dry eyes and potential squinting (worse combination). Very very unpleasant.

But you bring a good point which I never thought before, as a remedy of my squinting. I might give an online attempt this time.

Thanks a bunch !!

Best Regards,
Saakhi

Yes, the width has changed. I played around by changing the resolution, but it still did not make much difference.
The previous layout was better suited (atleast for me).

Is there a way to change back to the previous layout?

Thanks.

Yeah I don't like it too.

BB said they will check to have it set to minimum width.

However, you can try to do a ctrl - to zoom out of your browser. That way the panel appears a little bigger and you see more content per line.

Also, I am an engineer, so I played around with the browser HTML settings. But again, that's a temporary thing and each time I would reload the page my settings would vanish :p

Therefore, what helps make it little better is to zoom out. Do a CTRL - to zoom out and see if it gets better for you.

Regards,
Saakhi
