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

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!
