I heard that it's better not to use a calculator during the QR. Does using it really takes that much longer? I mean, how long does it take to type in a couple of numbers? I would think that it's actually much quicker than trying to do long division problem by hand.. Could someone comment on this? Please and thank you!

I think it's a personal thing. There are some problems that are much easier and quicker to solve with a calculator. However, I have heard that people have a slow computer and the calculator doesn't work as they expect it to work.

You will need to use the calculator to solve at least some of the math problems. You are pressed for time and doing things by hand will take too long.

You could use the keyboard for my calculator, it was super fast.

Yup, I could too. It was an awesome surprise to see that. I found this out during the 15 minute tutorial. I guess it varies depending on your testing center.

Where you guys able to use the keyboard to select the answers for multiple choice? Like if the answer is A you can press the A key. Any other things you guys found out?

I never tried to use the keyboard to put in answers. I found out that your timer starts as soon as the test does, meaning you can't read the tutorial about the test unless you want to waste some of your time, which I thought was kind of unfair. So I didn't read the tutorials. You will see what I mean when you take it.
