Ideally you would get a dry erase marker with a fine tip. A fine tip will allow you more efficient use and better writing and less frustration and likely more accuracy. I would spend and extra $1 or 5 to get a fine tip marker.

Posted from my mobile device

I have bought quite a few erase markers from Amazon so far. But I do not think their tips are fine enough. Could anyone recommend one or two genuine fine-tip erases?

Thanks!

I just ordered these to test them out: Ultra Fine Tip (I think you actually want better than just Fine tip based on the gradation)
https://amazon.com/1884309-Low-Odor-Mar ... B00I8OBAOU



Upon reading your reply, I almost placed the order right away... but I clicked on "4-count" option box and was told that "You purchased this item on April 8, 2020." Within that package, their tips are not particularly fine, let alone ultra fine.

Please let us know your experience with the 8-count version. Maybe I have unrealistic expectations of fine tips.

The two week limit theory is not true apparently. I took my online exam last Friday and today they opened the new registration with physical whiteboard, which means I can take my 2nd online exam tomorrow if I want to. So you don’t need to worry about two week restriction anymore.

I will write about my gmat online exam experience sometime soon.

What'a really frustrating is that if GMAC doesn't release my online GMAT score say till mid-July, in another two weeks, then I would not have the chance to retake the GMAT online exam. Given the shut down around the country, if I'm not able to find an available slot for the offline testing, basically I can't even apply for Round One this year. GMAC / Pearson's representatives basically said it's not their problem and they have no idea why I didn't receive the score in 10 days, and the worst part is that a retake will not be available for me until further notice . GMAC should really put a little more effort in its customer support division...

I also bought the variety pack that should get to me tomorrow. I will let you know how it compares to the official non permanent steadtler marker at the test center

Hi Everyone,

Just received my Online gmat (with physical whiteboard) score.
First of all, feeling sorry for guys who are waiting for scores to come out. Hold on tight guys!!!

I attempted my test on 11th 11:45am Japan Standard Time and received scores today 13th 6:13am. So, that's around 40hours after completion of the test. Pretty fast !!!!

The proctor told me before exam that I was the first one to take the test with physical whiteboard. Was expecting a delayed release on my score considering the changed format, but that was quicckkkkkk.

Scored 770 (Q50 V45).

It has been a wonderful (and painful) experience of 9 months prep and over 25 mocks ( I lost the count midway).

One of my best friend reddy10d scored the same score last week.
We prepared together for this and now sharing a beer with a huge smile on our faces. So happy and relieved this is over.

I will let this feeling sink in for this weekend and will post my debrief soon.
Btw, great story coming up soon from reddy10d .

Cheers,

Hi mate, I'm totally with you on this one. Do you have any reasons to think they might suspect you for anything suspicious?

souvik101990 : What was the division? Was the quant or verbal any harder or difficult than in your previous attempts? Was it easier with the physical board? Is showing the whiteboard on video at all time necessary? Any other peculiar thing?

Just a quick note about score verifications.

If you take the GMAT ONLINE twice, and you have already verified your previous score, you can also verify your RETAKE score as a separate score.
However, since MBA.com overwrites your scores, if you have not verified your previous score on the forum, it will not be visibly reflected.

P.S. You can also delete your previously verified scores in My Profile area

Here is an example:

Update: I booked my first GMAT-online exam on 7th June. Gave the exam on 9th June. Got the result on 11th June.
And I can now (13th June) see the option to book a new GMAT-online exam
So for me, the time between each step has been perfect.

Congrats to everybody on their amazing scores on the physical whiteboard exam so far!

I'm now hearing from other GMAT test-takers that they have now been able to re-register for the physical whiteboard exam, regardless of when they took their last (pre-physical whiteboard) exam, and that retest dates are available to these students as soon as Monday 6/15.

Thus, it appears that the required duration between GMAT Online exams (online whiteboard and physical whiteboard) might be closer to 10-12 days than the 14-16 days originally predicted.

Did anyone take the GMAT Online at night? I am planning to book a night slot as my family would be asleep and hence there will be fewer distractions. If anyone has taken it at night, how is the availability of the slots? How was the experience?

As I am from India if anyone from here can respond it will be helpful. (Or do I create a separate thread for this?)

Thanks in advance.

I am from India and I took it yesterday night 12.45 AM. I am more of a night person and so this timeslot suited me perfectly. Also didn't face any difficulty while taking the test. Logged in half an hour before @12.15AM and a proctor was allocated almost immediately. I was even able to start the exam a bit ahead of schedule after completing the checkin formalities. Pros - No one at home awake to cause any distraction, WiFi speeds are higher at night with fewer devices connected too.

Took mine at around 1:30am. The proctor was alloted on time, and I faced no issues with availability of slots
