Off late I've started using my left hand for POE rather than writing options and striking them manually. The thumb finger being option A and the little finger being option E. I start with all fingers open, and I keep closing the finger corresponding to the option which I feel is incorrect till I am left with the answer.
It has turned out to be really effective and time-saving, as I wouldn't have to keep referring to the scratchpad to know which options are left to be analyzed. A simple conscious effort will let me know the position of your fingers.
I wonder if this technique is safe to be used during the GMAT exam. I am planning to take the In Center GMAT. Would this be a problem? Would this make the procter suspicious of me doing any kind of malpractice? Or it would be just fine if I keep my hand between the computer screen and my body.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, lightyear09. I have known others to use this very technique without incident. In fact, I practiced some of my own questions this way after I read a debrief by another high-scoring candidate who advocated the method. Things can get a little tricky with the ring finger, but if you prefer this way of keeping track of eliminations, then I say go for it. It sure beats writing everything down, even in grid fashion, and I have yet to read a post by someone who says their score was cancelled because of their use of such cues.
Good luck with your practice.

Hey lightyear09 - Even i use the left hand POE method and it has worked for me. There may not be any issue using the POE trick while appearing for the exam at the centre, but it surely may cause some trouble if you appear for the online version of the exam. As i have heard from multiple people that the proctor interferes for any small deviations
