I have two quick questions about the paper and markers used in DAT. I know the type of the paper is dry/erase laminated graph paper. but
  • Can we write on both sides of this paper, what the dimensions of the paper?
  • do the markers have fine tips or medium.

I am just trying to buy such sheets and markers to get used to them as I am so used to write in fine pens and mechanical pencils. If you know the brands they use that would be very helpful. Thanks
 
I think every test center might be different. Fwiw my testing center used laminated sheets a little larger than a sheet of paper and medium thickness markers. You might be able to ask for fine point but I wouldn't bank on it.

Thanks for your reply, were you able to write on both sides of the paper? I can't imagine how would I be able to solve questions using that marker haha :bored:

Okay 2 sheets. For each sheet, one side was with a grid and the other side was blank. For mine you could write on both and some instructions at the top. I ended up using both sides! (thank goodness we could use both sides since QR was such a rush for me)

Thank you for your reply that's reassuring.
