Hey, when doing the GMAT at a test center, is the calculator on the screen for DI the same as it is here on GMAT Club? I find it too time-consuming to click each number instead of being able to put in all the numbers via the number pad. Some questions require calculations, so it would be very helpful if someone could share insights in how much of a factor this problem is in regards to time management.
Thanks!!

Yes, the calculator on the test is pretty much the same as what you see here. That said, the overall user experience isn’t great, which is why most people agree it’s best to use it only when absolutely necessary, typically for more complex calculations, which are quite rare. In most cases, you can rely on estimation strategies instead. Personally, I barely used it during my actual test, and even when I did, it was for maybe one or two questions. So I'd recommend preparing with the mindset that you won’t have a calculator at all. Use it only if you truly hit a roadblock, since the time you spend using it usually isn't worth the return.

I’m struggling with 555-655 problem solving questions. I’ve been studying for a minute and I know there are no surefire hacks to success with this. But I’d like help getting over the plateau and consistently getting 67%+ accuracy with those types of questions.

How’s your accuracy on 505-555 level questions?

Hello guys. I need a small help.
I just had my GMAT and scored 655.
After the xam, I had written down my marks on my palm.
Centre people said that it's not allowed and they are are going to report it to GMAC.
Is it going to adversely affect me. Plz respond...
Update: I received my score card today. Thanks to all those who supported me .

After how many days of preparation you got 655?

Keep on practicing with a timer.
I always followed this principle of GMAT NINJA "Bail when u flail".
Though, GMAT has not declared it openly, From my experience I can say, leaving 1 question lowers your overall score by 30 marks.
Attempt all the questions.
