Guys I had a really bad day with my GMAT on 28th a very big reason behind that has been the erasable board i got for the rough work. It was a white color one with graph paper like checks all over it. Is tht the same thing provided all over the world. I am a test taker from India... Please let me know what u guys got as it was really disturbing for me to work with that. Due to the checks on tht

Hey dude,
Sorry to hear about your bad performance. Do you think that it is realistically possible that something as trivial as an erasable board could be the reason for scoring badly on the GMAT ? Don't you think that there would most probably be other more significant reasons than the one you have listed ?

I had the yellow-colored board with the graphing. I thought it was extremely easy to use, although I had some problems with the pen.

I got two different ones actually. They were both yellow boards with graphing lines, but the size of the individual boxes differed. The graphing on my 2nd yellow board had tiny little boxes and it was difficult to see what I was writing. The boxes on the first were bigger.
