are keyboard shortcuts cntrl_+ cntrl_- cntrl_f disabled on real MCAT?

[startoverat40]

I noticed in the march 26th thread people were complaining about some questions needing to be scrolled in order to see the full content of the question. I was wondering if anybody tried to use the keyboard to decrease the font size with cntrl_- (control key and the minus key).

also wondering if cntrl-f would work to search for a string, especially in the verbal section.

are keyboard shortcuts disabled on the real MCAT? they seem to work on the practice AAMC tests.

Neither of the above hotkeys work. (Though I haven't tried any others)

I'm pretty sure you can on practice because you're using your own computer. They probably lock the functions on the computer itself and not the test software.

And, most frustratingly, ctrl-c and ctrl-v do not work on the writing section

I think the REAL discussion topic for you all should not be "do keyboard shortcuts work on the MCAT?" (they don't) but "how do we re-enable them at the testing center [without getting caught]?"
