IR calculator

Can I use the numpad on my keyboard for the calculator on Integrated Reasoning Section or do I need to use a mouse?

You can use the calculator with a mouse or the keyboard. I hope that answers your question!

Hello. You should be able to use your keypad for the IR calculator in GMATPrep. If you are still having problems, please send an email to [email protected], with a description of the issue, and what browser you are using. Thank you!

i am using chrome but how does it affect usability of keys 0-9 on the right of the keyboard in GMATPrep. when i gave practice test 3 days back i tried to use those keys on IR but wasn't able to use them. I will try them again on my 2nd practice test that is 3 days from now.

Hello. Vikram. We were having some issues with GMATPrep, including the onscreen calculator, in some previous versions of the software. Make sure you have the most current version, 2.1.279. If you have the most updated version, and are still experiencing issues, please contact [email protected] and someone will be able to assist you. Thanks!
