At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

There seem to be a few details of the GMAT Online Test that I can't find any answers to so I'm hoping someone can help me out. Please see questions below.
1) I know there is no break between Quant and Verbal section, but how long do I have after the quant section ends before the Verbal section begins? Or does it just immediately transition?
a) If there are a few seconds for the transition between the two sections, am I allowed to write on my dry erase board during that time to structure it for the verbal section?
2) I find the online whiteboard very clunky. Has anyone found any use cases for the online whiteboard where they feel it is more functional than the physical whiteboard? I've seen "best practices" on various websites but most of those were posted before GMAC allowed the physical whiteboard so they don't cover which is better for specific use cases. I'm leaning towards ignoring the online whiteboard completely at the moment just because it seems much slower.
3) Has anyone had a better experience with the GMAT online that the original exam? I've seen mainly nightmare stories online but if it is basically the exact same content, it seems like it would be preferable to take it in the comfort of your own home using electronics with which you are familiar.
4) Is there anything wrong with having dual monitors (or a laptop plus a monitor with the laptop still open)?
5) Can you see a window of the proctor that is monitoring your exam at all times during the exam? If there is such a window, can you hide it?
Thanks in advance for you insights to these questions.

Hi amlax3
I think there is a five-minute gap between the two sections. From what I understand only if you have good practise using the online board, then use it. Otherwise, stick to the physical one. ( People were having problems that's why then included the physical board)
I am not sure about the dual monitor or the proctor window. I would like to know that as well from someone who gave the gmat online
