The moderator team and I will maintain this topic to reflect the latest developments related to the GMAT ONLINE.

- The whiteboard is the new replacement for the scratch paper on the Online GMAT (you cannot write or use regular erasable pads or paper)
- If you want to try the whiteboard, please see links below to very similar whiteboards (differences are explained below)
- Originally Touchscreens were not allowed but GMAC since has allowed the use of Touchscreens but not for Whiteboard use
- The whiteboard is available even before your test starts, but you are not supposed to use it before by the rules
- The official touchscreen seems to have a strange feature/bug that splits the screen in half with one half being gray and the other white. None of the practice whiteboards have this but it does not really change anything.
- You cannot use a stylus or a writing instrument with the whiteboard
- You can use a touchpad or a mouse. So far GMAC says mouse has to be wired (which is odd but that's the official word)

Practice Whiteboards:
- Original Open Source Tool Literally Canvas
- Manhattan GMAT CAT's with Whiteboard (1 test is free; requires login)
- GMAT Whiz Whiteboard
- GMAT Club Whiteboard is coming April 23
- Note the following difference vs. Official Whiteboard:
- The official whiteboard stays on top of all other windows
- The official whiteboard does not support shortcuts
- The official whiteboard saves your results if you close it (but sometimes it glitches and resets in between questions)
- The official touchscreen seems to have a strange feature/bug that splits the screen in half with one half being gray and the other white.
