SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
Does anyone know where can i get laminated sheet so i can practice using that as a scratch paper. It would suck if its uncomfortable during the test.

I think most copy shops, like Kinko's, would have the ability to laminate a sheet for you.

Ridiculous, I know. I've actually thought about how annoying that will be too, considering I think better the tinier I write (and markers are larger font).

How big is the actual laminated sheet that they give you at Prometric? Normal 8.5 x 11 with both sides to write on? I hope the markers aren't the fat kind...that would be pretty tough to work with.

I remember from Mcat days that the marker was standard size dry erase. Same one that's used on a white board. Pretty crappy if you ask me.

the markers are the fat kind.

moreover, you really have no way of erasing what you write, aside from using your hands...


bottom line, I used up both side and it was plenty of space (i wrote big) as not too many biostat questions require actually writing something out.

Moreover, if you really need to write something (though I'd advised against it, seeing there are time constraints) activate the NOTE feature in the interface
