How to be in the screen view during online gmat [#permalink] New post   14 Oct 2023, 10:53
Hi

I have my online gmat on Monday. Just had one question..I will be writing the exam.on my laptop with physical whiteboard beside me. Now generally tonwrite on whiteboard we basically position at the right end of laptop so that the whiteboard is really close and I can comfortably do the rough work as I do in mocks. Last time proctor asked me to tilt my laptop a little and it was at a slant angle instead of right straight in front of me as if we look down to do scratch work on whiteboard might not be in complete view of camera or the proctor

Any tips to make use of whiteboard comfortably whilst in front of laptop during the test.

Also I tend to read slowly to myself while reading especially during Vera section (rc/cr) while giving tests. Is that an issue or is it manageable during online test?

Thanks

Might be worth finding a couple of positions you find comfortable during your prep - and, before the actual exam starts, confirming with the proctor which are acceptable.

With all the horror stories surrounding the online GMAT, you'd think people would treat it as a last resort and take it in person if possible... I can't imagine anyone doing as well as they would at a testing center with MS paint for a whiteboard and a guy asking them to move 2 nanometers to the left "OR ELSE" every 4.3 milliseconds.

Hi scott

Wrote my gmat but it did not go well. Got 610 (Q 49 V 25). As always verbal turned out to be my nemesis. Got 14-15 pts lower in verbal than what I was getting in mocks. Consistently scored 700-750 in mocks. Just found the actual gmat a little harder. Spent a little more.time in rc as I stuck to my approach of reading carefully and comprehending but took more time in answering questions as well. Was left with 8 ques to be done in around 6 mins. Still was hoping to get 700+ this time as I approached the gmat the same way as my mocks. This was my 6th attempt and I havent been able to cross 700. It's always verbal that has brought my score down. It's not same as what I get in mocks. This time was getting v38-40 consistently.

Hi kreel11,

Is it possible that anxiety is an issue you?
