I heard that the testing centers are switching to dry erase boards now? Has anyone taken the test with dry erase boards instead of scratch paper recently? Where? Thanks!!

The dry erase is much much more frustrating (smaller writing area, need to erase before doing the problem, crappy dried out pen, smelly ink, writing size is unfamiliar). You could also call the testing center before the big day and ask for paper and pencil.

I have heard of someone working halfway through with screen beginning to flicker, and the time on test continued to run while the proctor sought help to get it fixed. The consequence can be devastating.
