GMAT Club Tests Whiteboard Help

Hello bb,

this looks great and very happy to see this as a part of GMATClub tests. Would this whiteboard open as a different browser or it will open up as a different window or would it open up in the same test screen area?

Asking just to understand if we would be able to resize it and that it remains on the test screen during the time.

Thanks

This whiteboard opens as a new browser window, a pop-up basically. You would be able to resize it.

Perfect, thank you, that way we will be able to simulate and practice in a test-like conditions. One more question, not very important though, is the background of the whiteboard grey or white during official vs what gmatclub has?

Not sure about this one. I heard someone saying that it was half white and half grey but I have no idea. Maybe, souvik101990 can chime in?

Actually it is both. The whiteboard looks as though it is white on top and gray on the bottom. That is because the actual writing space is limited to about 6 inches in size to only the white space but you can write below the visible border in a strange way. We have recreated it here: https://gmatclub.com/whiteboard/ Both Souvik and Hailey mentioned that on the video today on YouTube.

PS. We are not sure if it’s a feature or a glitch but we’re not planning on making it to be 2-color at the moment unless somebody really wants to :-)

Thanks, bb workout

I heard Souvik mentioning about it. In anycase I am excited to try this whiteboard as soon as it is available for practice.

I heard the panel mention that whiteboard is probably going to affect your score as well by 20-50 points so I am not very keen on giving an online test. Though starting to practice on it wouldn't harm just in case the situation doesn't get better.

Moreover, if I am able to ever score 51 on GMATClub Quant test with this whiteboard, I will book an online version right away ;)

Hi bb,

I just took the GMATclub quant tests and have a suggestion regarding the same, not sure if this post is the right place to do so. It would be better if the questions in the tests exclude questions which the user has already practiced in the forum based on error log. In my case I have had 1 to 2 questions which I have already solved repeating in the tests. Thanks.

bb With regards to the whiteboard, since it's a new window, would I be able to right click and select 'Show windows side by side,' so I have exam on 1 side of my screen and the board on the other side? Also have an idea how the exam font would work out if I display both windows side by side?

I don't think you will get an option to side-by-side it automatically. The whiteboard is an element WITHIN the test window (and not like a pop up). However, you can resize and reposition the whiteboard to sit at a fixed position. However be cautious that you need access to the NEXT button and the confirmation dialogue box after each question so if the whiteboard gets in the way, you have to push it out every time. In my test, I did not have the whiteboard open all the time. I kept it closed and clicked on the whiteboard icon to bring it to the screen when I needed it (which was about 5-6 times in the quant section).

souvik101990 Thanks, guess I have to adjust my preparation... What if I position in the right corner, above the Next button; would it stay there permanently throughout the Quant portion so I wouldn't have to readjust every time I click Next?

How can we write on this white board ? Using my mouse to write on it is too time consuming. I am very concerned about this.

You can use digital or physical whiteboard for the GMAT ONLINE tests.
You can type on the virtual whiteboard and you can write on the physical one.

Let me know if your question was about something else.
Thx.
BB.

Could you please guide on how are we supposed to use the physical whiteboard? DOes it need to fixed on the wall or can we put it on our side right side on the chair in a way it is visible through the camera? The board needs to be visible throughout the test right?

1. DO NOT put the whiteboard on the wall
2. It does not need to be visible

Hi all! A very silly question - I have purchased a whiteboard which has its brand name written in a very small font at the bottom right corner, do you think it could be an issue?

No. It will be fine. Most boards have some kind of a brand or logo or name or writing. I would not worry about it ?

It has to be no greater than 20 inches on one side and 12 on the other.... It is inches, not CM. Your whiteboard is just fine and about 2.5 less than the max allowed ;)

I think this is a good suggestion. It would be great if our tech team could work on this to pick GC Test questions solved on Forum Quiz from that error log i.e. building interoperability between GC Test and Forum Quiz error logs. This will ensure that none of the questions during GC Test mocks are ever repeated! bb please throw some light.
