Look and feel of actual GMAT

by Due » Tue Feb 02, 2010 1:37 pm
Hello Friends,

The GMATPrep test that I take up currently fills horizontally accross my laptop screen. The RC passage occupies half the screen length wise and the entire passage neary fits in the bradth of my laptop ( 15 inch lptop ).

Would the look and feel of GMAT also be something similar. Would the SC sentences be wrapped up to fit in a small screen or will they fill.

can you take a screenshot and attach it, so we can see what you're referring too?

With the RC passages half of the screen will be the passage, the other half will be the question. It will be evenly distributed. With the SC questions, most won't take up the entire screen. You will be fine, no worries.

The wrap up happens on your laptop because of resolution. The GMAT exams, will use proper desktop monitors with
correct resolution. So this will not happen during real exam.

Yes I believe so. That's similar to how it shows up on my screen, minus the colors. Can someone else confirm?

Also if someone could comment on the length of RC passage. If this is how the GMAT screen will look like, does the RC passage geneally fit , with little bit more to scroll, as in this image?

Yes that's how the RC passage will generally fit. I don't think you will be surprised with anything come exam day

Yes same goes for me. Assuming that is how its supposed to be . Before giving the gmat prep they do explain about how the RC passage will appear . which is exactly like how the picture above is .

The nerves actually leave the moment you answer the first math question. Once you get that correct, you settle into the test.
