Hello everybody,

I wanted to take the GMAT online because of the current situation. I have been surprised to see that pen and pencil were not allowed, which I find very strange. I have called the Gmat customer service, and they said they did not have more information than what is on the website.

Do you really think it is possible for them to launch such an exam, without anything to write on during the quantitative section? I feel it is almost impossible to succeed without writing anything.

Thank you for your answers!

Stay safe.

Hi Marco91400
There will be online whiteboard available instead of offline one available at test centre. If you are not confident or comfortable with the changes and you are not in a hurry, please wait for offline centres to start working.
