Can we highlight text on verbal section during GMAT exam?

Question

Hello,

Please help me in answering my query.

I have been practising some questions with help of text highlight feature on OG pdf's. Can i do the same while giving the exam?

Thanks

Hi p456 , To answer your question, No, we can't highlight/select any text on the actual Exam. I would recommend you start practicing without highlighting/selecting the text so that you won't be facing any issues on the real exam. Hope it helps!

Unfortunately, you cannot do that on the actual exam.

Hi p456.

Unlike on the LSAT, on the GMAT, there is no ability to highlight in RC passages.

That said, it may help to highlight during some of your RC and CR practice to develop awareness of passage and argument structure.

Unfortunately, there is no text highlight in the actual GMAT exam. It's a good idea to start adjusting your practice strategy now to avoid relying on this. Getting comfortable with the exam format as it is can really help you feel more confident on test day
