Hi,

Has anyone taken the OAT in New York and been given a dry erase board instead of paper and pencil as scratch paper?

I feel like it would be difficult to go back to the ones you have marked and to review your work with a dry erase board...If you can post your experience that would be great!

Thanks

Call the test centers and ask what will be given. I heard there's been a rising number of places using the erasable board. if that's the only option left, I would go visit the center and ask where to get the same for hands on practice.:idea:

it better be a big board too. thick pens + small board = ur screwed.
they should leave the paper/ whiteboard thing as an option. someone might get irritated and chuck the board across the room.
although a huge board might make u want to doodle. haha. g'luck.

I just called the ADA and they said that as of January 1st, 2007 that ALL OAT tests are being offered with DRY ERASE BOARDS ONLY!!!

I don't know what to do because I have been practicing with pencil and paper and as you all have mentioned - lefties have BIG problems with dry erase boards.

Anyone take the test after January 1st and get a dry erase board for their OAT? Guess I need to go out and get one now 🙁

This is so upsetting...and is yet another bump in the road...

Oh really? When I took the OAT last week, I used the traditional paper and pencil scratch paper...
