I did not read anything about how the mouse or keyboard is connected, should be fine, why are you concerned? The Bluetooth functionality won't be deactivated, anyway, you can try to run a system check with the PearsonVue software just in case. Regards, Pablo

See post from anupamc on the previous page saying that only wired mouse or keyboard is allowed. My keyboard and mouse are only bluetooth connected which is why I am concerned. Doesn't seem to trigger anything on the system check however

Official GMAT's latest Tweet Reply (22nd April) (given in general to all critical tweets reg. online scratch board) We hear your frustration and want you to know that we are actively working on a solution, which will take some time to complete. Communicating these changes to you is a high priority for us and we will share additional information on the whiteboard as soon as it’s available. Official GMAT's Tweet Reply on 18th April Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are actively investigating ways to make the GMAT Online test-taking experience even better. Stay tuned for an update. They RECOGNIZE our FRUSTRATION! (at least as on 22nd April). Since touch screen option is already available, can we imply from the tweet that they will allow stylus or scratch pad in future?? In this regard, are we not better off if we wait till April 28th? (date of their next webinar).

That is a crazy leap of faith to take. The touch screen option was already there and I would bet it was an oversight on their end

Leap of faith for sure! But their reference word " Solution " must mean something NEW Something...

Has anyone normal taken the exam yet? I mean someone who is not a tutor or standardized test enthusiast like Souvik? When you have everything on the line and with pressing deadlines, how did you perform in this nerve wrecking format? Posted from my mobile device

GMAC replied on twitter that there will be an online whiteboard practice tool on its website by the end of this week and touchscreen of laptops cant be used for online whiteboard...

Did you really really really manage to miss the video banners, announcements and posts? Please look at the very first post..... and we had a YouTube live with 2 users, one moderator and one instructor who all have taken the test....

Thank you so much for posting! Found the post and addicting it to your post. LOL. They have been all over this touchscreen issue. Someone also has a copy of the message where they say that you can use touchscreen for whiteboard.... link: https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-online- ... l#p2502423 Another issue that seems to be up in the air is wired or wireless mice/keyboards. There are several conflicting messages about them as well. Posted from my mobile device
