That's their "white board". From what I read, it's laminated grid paper. Maybe you would like to post your experience with using this white-board and marker since most members have not got anything to do with Pearson yet. :wink:

ywilfred-I'd be happy to share.

The paper was larger than 8.5x11, but smaller than 11x17. It was about 4 or 5 sheets of this laminated yellow grid paper, spiral bound.
The marker was similar to a fine-tipped sharpie. I was a bit worried I smear it all over the place but I didn't experience that at all. It dried quickly. It was not erasable I don't believe (I didn't try).
I found that the width of the tip was okay, but since I was writing on a slick surface my handwriting was a bit sloppier than normal.

I felt there was plenty of space-and I even write large. Additionally, the grid actually helped me in drawing out some of the geometry/graph questions...

I wouldn't be worried about using this new "scratch paper" at all. Most people will be fine with it.

Congrats stretchad!!! Good luck for your application! :flower

BTW, could you tell me more about this? Thanks a lot.

Quote:
Verbal - started with a long series of SC, followed by Reading Comprehension. I believe in all I had 3 or 4 Reading comprehension passages, but a couple were only 2 paragraphs long or so. Questions we're too far from what you'd see in OG. I didn't feel like I saw too many CR questions, but I got two that were along the lines of "the parts in bold represent which of the following...Part 1 draws a conclusion; part 2 is evidence to support the conculsion", etc. I found those somewhat difficult. I also had two where I had to fill in the blank at the end of the CR statement.

Oops that was a typo in my original statement. It should be "...weren't too far from..."

Sorry about that!
