Hi, I just took a GMATprep practice test recently. When I got to the quantitative section, I noticed that the font style for the fractions were really different from the rest, and for me, harder to read (Does anyone know what I'm referring to). Can anyone help to advise if that's what it will look like on the real test?

Thank you!

I think they format the mathematical expression as image, not text, since it's quite complex to integrate mathematical expression into each question. No problem as long as the question is readable.

Yeah it is readable, I was just a bit thrown off by it as I am not so used to reading that text.
Do you know if the real GMAT is formatted that way as well?

I haven't taken the test yet :lol: so I can't answer your question right now. However, I am sure that the way that displays the question won't have any bad effect on exam experience.

Yeah I definitely hope so! The practice exam books aren't like that. The font there is consistent and is easy to read. I can't imagine why the real test would have crappy inconsistent font lol
Good luck to you when you take the test, friend!
