Hi, I've seen a few contrary inputs on the following two questions related to Online GMAT. It would be great if somebody can provide their input on the same:
1. Is it okay if the back-side of the physical whiteboard is dark green/ black?
2. The study table I am plan to give the exam on,has drawers (which will be closed). Is this a cause of concern ?
3. Can we use phone WiFi for internet?
Thanks in advance!

Is it okay if the back-side of the physical whiteboard is dark green/ black?
This should be okay as technically speaking the GMAC only highlighted about the background of the whiteboard and nothing about the back side in specific.
Moreover you will have to show both the sides of the board to begin with so I think you should be good. If you still have doubts over this you can surely raise an enquiry ticket to GMAC and take a confirmation from them as well.

No this should not be a problem. If during the exam you only face the camera or work on the board while answering the questions you should be good. If any sudden unwanted movement is caught that is when the proctors wake up

Can we use phone WiFi for internet?
I think here you are asking about the Mobile hotspot. Although GMAC has specially come out to say to avoid (or has prohibited altogether, not sure on that) this method of connecting to the net in particular, but the question comes, how will they know ??
So if you want you can definitely use, but on the personal front I would not recommend as they can be , in my experience, spotty at times. And if the internet goes off by chance, more than the exam coming back online you will create an addiditonal mental stress on an already stressful exam. And then stress, as we know, can make things go awry
If you can connect with a better way to the internet, I would seriously urge you to.
