Hey Rahul, thanks for your reply and sorry for the late reply. got carried away with some work

So the reviews in the Amazon link say that the markers might not work sometimes. How was it for you or your friend? Any alternative u got in market?
Also, since these markers are wet erase, does a cloth dipped in water do the deal?are u able to reuse after it?

Hi there,

I bought this to practice - https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B07FDJ ... UTF8&psc=1

This is the exact same notepad provided during test day (confirmed with a friend who gave the gmat)

Posted from my mobile device

Amazon gives 2 pens (one permanent with a felt tip and one whiteboard marker).
In the actual exam you get the felt pen which you cannot erase but while practice at home you can use a wet cloth to clean the sheet no problems

The book is reusable yes. But a bit messy cleaning up so recommend using a whiteboard for practice and notebook for mocks

Hello folks! I am writing gmat for the first time and I got to know that we won't be allowed to use pen and paper for scratch work, something I am accustomed to.

Instead , 5 yellow color, legal size, laminated sheets bound by a spiral and markers are given. So as to not be surprised on the test day, I am looking to recreate that setup at my home and get practised to it. The manhattan product on amazon costs 30$ for scratch pad alone and we have to buy markers seperately as well. In indian rupees, it translates to minimum 2500 rupees.

Are there cheap and similar indian alternatives for this so I can just get a feel of this? For the markers, from the representative image on amazon, I understand its a felt-tip marker. Am i right about this?

right now, I was thinking of buying yellow legal size papers, laminate it and bound by a spiral. or you got any other ideas?
