Changes to GMAT Scratch Paper Rules
5 Tips for How to Best Use Scratch Paper
The Princeton Review recently received some reports that GMAT test takers were receiving fewer pages of scratch paper than they expected. Our inquiry to GMAC about scratch paper policy received this response:
As of mid-February, Thomson Prometric Test Centers will no longer be issuing 5 individual sheets of scratch paper per candidate. The new form of scratch paper will be in the form of booklets which will be stapled in the middle and each will contain 4 pages (8 sides). Each candidate should receive one booklet during check-in and may trade in that used booklet for a new one during their exam session. At no time should a candidate have more than one booklet in their possession.
Just because the amount of paper has changed doesn’t mean you need to stress about it. To help you tackle the GMAT, be sure to follow these 5 tips for how to best use the scratch paper:
Use Questionnaire Time to Jot. You'll get one booklet of scratch paper before you begin your exam. When you sit down at your station in the testing room, you need to start the test pretty much right away. However, before you get to the Analytical Writing Assessments, there's a pre-test questionnaire that asks for background information. The questionnaire period isn't timed. If there's anything you're afraid you won't be able to remember (a math formula, etc.), you can quickly jot in on your scratch paper during the questionnaire time.
Make Efficient Use of the Paper Provided. Plan to use one page of the booklet for brainstorming and outlining your AWA responses. That will leave 7 pages for the Math section. You only need to fit your work for five or six questions on each page. Keep your work neat and compact. When you begin a problem, write down the question number. After you finish a problem, draw a line under the work for that problem. Working this way makes the most of your scratch paper, and it helps you maintain accuracy. You may find it helpful to divide each page into two or three columns. Then, as you draw a line to close off work you've finished, you'll create a set of boxes on the page.
Get a New Booklet. During the break between the Math and Verbal sections, whether it’s completely full or not, trade in your scratch paper booklet for a fresh one.
Scratch Paper Is Not Only for Math Questions. With a fresh booklet, you've got 8 pages for the Verbal section. Most test takers find it helpful to divide the page into columns. As with the Math section, write down each question number when you begin working a problem. For Sentence Completion questions, all you'll need to write in addition to the question number will be ABCDE. That will help you track process of elimination. For Arguments questions, write down your notes about the argument (conclusion, premises, etc.) and ABCDE. For Reading Comp, write your notes about the passage, your formulations of the answer, and ABCDE. Draw a line under your work when you finish a question to set it off from the next question.
Practice Using Scratch Paper Following GMAC Guidelines. When you take practice tests at home, follow the same guidelines regarding scratch paper that you'll have to follow at the test center. Figure out a strategy for what to write and where to write it that works well for you. That way, you'll be comfortable when you get to the test center, and your actual exam will go more smoothly.
