How do I use the GRE Timer on questions in the forum where there are two or more answer choices? Is it not possible and not a feature built in when the developers created it?

Hi,

the calculator is based on the ETS official calc.

During the real exam, you do have the same calc. On multiple-choice you calculate your choices and then flag the answer/s.

To be honest, I do not see where is the issue :)

Hey Carcass,

So my question is not on the calculator but the GRE Timer that is in the forums. See attached image.

The GRE Timer is the blue colored timer with Answer selection tool.

When dealing with questions that have multiple answer inputs, this tool only allows users to select one answer and then stops and records the time. It should allow multiple answer inputs, since these are multiple answer questions.

Does that make sense?

Yes, of course, make much sense.

Sorry, I do not know why I read the calc :( Apologies. Really sorry.

When you start the timer and then suppose the OAs are A and B among 5, once you have the answers and you hit the choices consecutively the timer records them.

It is true that when you hit the fIRST option it stops but from the first one to the other options we do have milliseconds. Do not change the substance of your workbook or possible performance.

Is it good as to answer ?? :)
