Hey guy, Do you need an external camera for the GMAT Online exam that continuously shows the whiteboard and desk during the entire exam, or is the normal MacBook Pro camera enough?
From what I understood online, you only need to briefly show your desk and whiteboard at the beginning. I couldn’t find anything clearly stating that both must remain visible on camera during the whole exam.
Or do you actually need to buy an extra external webcam for that?
Hi, I took the GMAT focus online about half a year ago. In my case the supervisor was very thorough reviewing my test environment: I had to pick up my laptop and show every corner of my room, she asked me to cover my shelves, get rid of a mirror, some nearby cables, etc. She even asked me to show the space behind my desk! I was very nervous because it took about 30 minutes for her to give the green light. After that I could take the exam normally with my laptop’s webcam, didn’t have to show my whiteboard for the entire test, only at the beginning, at the break, and at the end -- you are going to be asked to pick up your board and show the front and obverse of it directly to the camera. Hope this info helps you!
