bb : Since we cannot cancel the score if we take the online GMAT, will it be shown in the score report?
EX- If I give the GMAT at the test centre after attempting online GMAT, will my score report have the online GMAT score when I send it to the university?

In the webinar that ran fine, they mentioned it very quickly and I haven’t been able to listen to a recording (recording not yet available) so I would listen to recording when it becomes available to verify but here is what I think I heard: it seems the GMAT online system is separate and so for a while if you take the online test, it won’t show up with your offline scores but down the road they will integrate the systems. That’s what I think I heard but they said it too fast...

Here's the link to the Manhattan GMAT OnVue whiteboard simulator: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog ... at-online/

Awesome. Thank you Manhattan GMAT!!!!
Glad to hear they got it built!!! We can try practicing! You do NOT need to buy CAT's - you can practice it from the MGMAT account page OR You can try one out here:

Something similar is what i make on paint app or on sketchpad using trackpad/dell-mouse.
Also, I observed that it is difficult to write in lowercase which is what most would do.

Saw this in the comments section of Official GMAT Instagram page. Maybe, there will be some announcements on the whiteboard next week.

To be honest, it seems to be that they will post some info next week on how to use a online whiteboard or maybe include a instructional video on their page or make the tool available for practice for people. The best thing to do right now is to like/share the post such as OP's post in the instagram screenshot above wherever we find them. The more noise we create the more pressurized they will be to do something about it. Thats our best bet right now!

Just my opinion, I believe that the online whiteboard has one major pro: It would be extremely beneficial when it comes to taking notes for CR and RC questions as you can type text and would be easier to keep track of the argument/essay.

But using the online whiteboard for quant section might be a bit tricky to get used of it

Hey you guys, I really loved the panel you hosted on your YouTube channel with GMATNinja, ApplicantLab and Nikhil regarding whether we should even bother to take the Online GMAT (if possible) - and whether we should look at GRE. I'm going to start looking at the GRE now. Really grateful for this discussion. Thank you so much! It's been such an anxious week. No thank you, GMAC and Pearson!!

Sorry I had a long day and I missed all the action here.

I had a great time hosting today and i’m getting a little nervous about the test even though I literally have no stakes.

So, like me, if you’re also looking for a break, i’m doing a video around school selection tomorrow at 9 am PST (so about 9.5 hours from now). Would love to see you guys there.

will the test taker of the online GMAT be allowed to use a stylus for the digital scratchpad? that would definitely be relatively more convenient.

You cannot use a stylus or a digital scratchpad. You are allowed to use only a mouse/touchpad connected to a USB device.

Guys, I keep checking the GMAC website for updates, and I cannot find references to the online whiteboard anymore. It looks like they removed statements about it.

Is it just me, or can anybody confirm it?

I can't find it either. Trying not to get my hopes up

Only if you use the url tho. It still isn't there on the tab to the left. Could mean absolutely nothing.

Should you take the ‘Online GMAT?’



Recently, the ‘online version’ of GMAT was announced: a temporary measure to deal with unprecedented situations surfaced as a result of the Coronavirus crisis. With this, you can take the GMAT from the comfort of your homes. Should you go ahead with this option?

PROs:
• The attempt won’t be counted towards your yearly and lifetime limits.
• The fee has been reduced to $200.
• Good option for those who need a score urgently for their Round 3 applications.

CONs:
• No scratch paper can be used (online whiteboard to be used instead).
• No unofficial scores right after you finish the exam. Formal scores to be sent to you within 7 days.
• You can’t cancel the scores once you receive them.
• Technical glitches a potential concern.
• Only one 5 min break allowed.

Most people would agree that doing calculations on an online tool would be significantly challenging. Also, if the scores of this online exam are included in the entire history of attempts, some may not be comfortable with lower scores being reflected in their test history even when schools mostly look at the highest scores. However, since the attempt is not being counted in the quota of attempts, one can go ahead if one requires scores urgently for impending applications. Those who feel that they are at the peak of their performance levels may also want to undertake the exam.
Note: Aspirants may also make use of the excellent opportunity wherein many B-schools have exempted the requirements of GMAT for their applications in the current rounds (especially folks who are not so great at performing well in exams but have a good profile otherwise).

Please feel free to PM for more details/advice.
