Hey does anyone know what the test day resolution is? I have very poor eyesight and don't want to be surprised on exam day on something I could try my best to get use to and adjust.I'm not sure if I can adjust monitor resolution at prometric, pretty doubtful!

My friend took the test the other week at the prometric and said it was a widescreen, unsure size. Maybe by dell and maybe between 17-20"?

Will the exam display at 1024x768 resolution like on the practice software? Is that the same as UW default or large font size? Thanks for any help!
