Text size on prometric computers

[leaveit2rani]

I have been taking pretty much all my aamc exams on PDF form (larger text size) on the computer. How is the text size on the prometric computers?

If I recall correctly, it's about a size 12 ish font on a standard monitor.

Yes it's completely standard, as if you have word on 100%. If you have visual issues you need to get special accommodations but otherwise you will be fine.

It was easier to read for me, since I used a laptop for my PTs.

There was a similar question about the resolution the other day, but the text size won't bother you. So don't worry about that text size.

What bothered me was how small the screen was. I practiced AAMC FLs on my 15 inch laptop, and they were manageable. But especially verbal passages on the prometric computers seemed more convoluted and longer (or they might be actually longer passages) due to a smaller screen and I had to scroll up and down quite a lot. Also, if you have two orgo pathways in a single passage, get ready for quite a lot of scrolling.
