Same concern here... Taking notes on paper/whiteboard is way faster that doing so on an online whiteboard platform.

I do not believe it is hyperbolic to say that this is nothing short of a disaster. IMO, all of the top programs, who still need to fill seats, will waive the GMAT for 2020 intake as a result of the alternative presented. It'll be a minimum 45 days from now before anyone can take the exam in real conditions. The online GMAT is clearly not a comparable test-GMAC's hands were forced and they did the correct PR move. I understand where they are coming from-in their eyes any of form that would include physical notepad/whiteboard from home would compromise the integrity of the exam and all scores to date. Sucks but it is what it is

I doubt that would be available, at least not this phase since software has to be installed and GMAC would need to have an app on Apple and Android and Apple allows a lot less functionality in between apps (e.g. you could screen record the whole exam).

Also the proctor will be dizzy if you keep moving ipad up and down and they won't be able to effectively watch you from the ipad camera.

How do you "understand where they are coming from"? IMO, they could easily allow the use of whiteboards, ensuring people erase what they have written afterward. They could also ask for pictures of the whiteboards to do some further analysis. And then finally, in the rare, rare circumstances that some may have the audacity to try to memorize the questions in the exam, they could utilize questions that are unique to the COVID-19 times, so therefore, it wouldn't even truly matter if some tried to remember the questions, in terms of the test's long term integrity.

In short, I think there are plenty of preventive measures they can take to prevent cheating. If someone is going to just write down the questions the whole time, you can tell that a person is doing that because that person's test score will suffer as a result of he/she not being focused on the task at hand. I really think you can predict these things through tracing the score in comparison to what the person got in the past, taking pictures of a person's whiteboard to analyze it, and making the person wipe off the whiteboard after. I also think they blow cheating WAY out of proportion -- we are individuals who are going for our second degrees. How likely are we to cheat, statistically?

I am hopeful they allow the use of some e-stylus setup or something. I have a touch screen laptop too, but I still think using a touch screen laptop for Quant is a JOKE. It's not right - I have spent >150 hours of doing Quant problems with a pen/pad everytime (as I am sure many others have too), and to take that away is simply laughable/bizarre. They are going to get roasted on their webinar on Friday! :lol:

Good point, that would be helpful.

In the meantime, to practice, here is a whiteboard tool that I've used for tutoring and recommend: https://app.ziteboard.com/

Thank you for this link GMATCoachBen

This works if we have a stylus- I can't imagine summarizing RC passages under timed conditions with my trackpad. Let alone solving some heavy quant.

With that said, I like that it isn't counted as an attempt.

Given that I'm planning to apply for the 2021 intake and the GMAT Online score is valid for 5 years, will the score be accepted by the B-Schools as part of the application process for 2021 intake?

Good question. There is no information that would suggest otherwise (meaning your online score is good for 5 years and will be accepted), but schools may question your sanity for taking the Online GMAT at Home in barbaric conditions.... :D

I expect that they will allow for questions that are less calculation heavy during this time, to avoid test takers complaining that their quant scores got gimped as they couldn't use the online whiteboard effectively in the limited time. Verbal i believe most people are okay to make the sacrifice to be able to take the test in this time.

All those hope for the GMAT at home shattered because of this note taking restriction!
How is that even possible to get the score you deserve without taking notes in quant? No human brain can efficiently solve many math problems without writing down notes, let alone under the intense GMAT time restrictions.
Even verbal score can be negatively affected if there's no note taking tool.

They have mentioned that their online tool will allow "Change the stroke size of lines, the fill and background colors of shapes, and the size and font of text".
Really? in an exam with an average less than 2 minutes per question, who would want to change the size and the font? or fill/change the background colors. They must be kidding us!!
Filling the triangles and circles in geometry questions with blue and yellow would be cool tho haha
