Hi guys,
Can anyone describe the scratch book provided to testtakers during the exam? Is it made of paper or is it like a white board? Also, were you given a pen, pencil or marker? I just want to have an idea on what the scratch book would look like so I can practice solving using a similar scratch. I'm not really good at maximing scratch papers so it would help knowing how many are provided and its size.
Lastly, I read somewhere that it is a good strategy that you write all the choices (A,B,C,D,E) in the scratch book beforehand, since this would greatly help if you are using the process of elimination. Is this really a good strategy? Also is this advisable given the limited scratch given to you?
Thanks!

It is a booklet of laminated paper which has small square boxes just like an excel sheet.
IMO the scratch books do not have a cap on it and you can get it replaced.
The booklet has squares on it and you just have to write ABCDE on the top of 5 columns. Thats it.
Also you can erase it anytime you want...
Hope that helps.

One of the things that worked for me was to put white A4 sheet in a plastic wallet such as this one https://www.theworks.co.uk/p/plastic-files-folders/a4-plastic-wallets/5052089151956. I glued the ends so that the plastic jacket doesnt move around, and used a black sketch-pen for writing on the sheet. Not ideal, but did force me to write smaller, and get used to the erasable ink(which sometimes can get erased bcoz of ur sweat)
Ofcourse an easier method is to just buy the scratch pad from Kaplan, Manhattan, etc. https://www.amazon.in/Manhattan-GMAT-Simulation-Booklet-Marker/dp/0979017580
