Hello,
I haven't seen much info on the web about "whiteboards" and scratch paper, at least not any information that is current. On mba.com, GMAC says that you are given whiteboards but are not allowed to erase your work. I thought it was a pain that they didn't allow scratch paper to begin with, but now that I know you can't even erase.... I've been practicing with the five sheet dry erase booklet I got from Veritas Prep, along with a dry erase marker and eraser. Now I guess I have to get used to not being able to erase as well. If anyone knows more about this, please let me know. I am wondering if "not being able to erase" is standard across all testing centers. Here is the quote from mba.com:
Notes about noteboards:
1.The administrator will provide you with a booklet of five noteboards to use during the exam
2.You may not erase your notes.
3.You may request additional noteboards by raising your hand. We recommend you use your space wisely so that you do not have to disrupt your concentration to request new noteboards frequently. Try to request new noteboards in between sections.
4.You may not remove these noteboards from the testing room at any time.
5.Every noteboard must be returned at the end of the test session.
6.You may not take your own noteboard into the testing room.
Thank you for your feedback on this, taking the test soon and trying to prepare for the real deal.
