Question about laminated note cards [#permalink] New post   16 Jan 2016, 07:37
How likely are you to run out of space on the laminated notecards on test day? How quickly can you get a new one? Any tips for dealing with the laminated note card?

I'd recommend changing it in between the Quant and Verbal sections. To each their own honestly. However, just before the quant section starts, I jot down some important stuff such as the Odd/Even scenarios, rates, etc. So, I never changed it during the quant section. Changing it between the Quant and Verbal also helps you mentally as you start afresh.

But how likely are you to run out of space DURING the quant section. Also, is it noticeably different from pen and paper?

Thanks so much for the help

It depends on the font size & content :) I took around 2.5 of those only in my Q...while 1 in V for POE
Its a smaller experience as to writing on a soft board!

Also, please make sure that those pens work. They can be $&#@*$^&@*&$@ pens at times and they let me down during the quant section and I lost valuable time :D.

Hi goarmy,

There's a discussion on the Pad/Pen combo you'll be given here:

pen-and-paper-available-on-gmat-211106.html?hilit=legal

You can 'trade in' your pad, pen or both at ANY time during your Exam (including during the two breaks). To avoid the stress of having to wait on the Moderator to bring you new supplies WHILE the Test is running, you should plan to exchange your pad during the two 8-minute breaks.
