So I took my first GMAT in December (which I did horrible), and preparing again for the 2nd one this March.
I just got my MGMAT test simulation booklet with a marker today and I noticed that the marker (staedtler 1mm) is actually very thin compared to the one I got in December on the actual test (it was the one that you use for whiteboards - 5mm).
The marker gave me so much trouble because it was so thick that my writings were barely readable after calculations and RC summary that my notes were basically useless (time pressure and trying to read key pts on a thick writing). Of course a swordsman shouldn't blame his poor skills on his sword, but still it affected my performance negatively. Even if I prepare with test simulation booklet with a thin marker, what if they give me that thick one again then my simulation setting would be changed and affect the performance again.
Sounds like whining, but wanted to assure what everyone's pen/marker was.
