Re: GRE at Home - What we do know so far [#permalink]
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but if I have more than one handheld whiteboard (two), more than one color of whiteboard marker, and each of the handheld whiteboards is double sided, is that OK to use in the at-home test?

You may take notes using one of the following:
White board with erasable marker
Paper with transparent sheet protector and erasable marker

This is what the website says.

You can ask to the proctorU when you take the exam. The color is not mentioned. I think yes.

How many transparent sheet protectors are allowed for the at-home GRE? I have bought 50 and put white sheets of paper in them. Can I use 10 of them at a time? I don't want to waste time erasing if the requirement is only ONE sheet of transparent paper at a time.

Note-taking materials
You may not take notes on regular paper, for security purposes.
You may use one of the following:
One small desktop white board with erasable marker
One sheet of paper inside a transparent sheet protector, with an erasable marker
At the end of the test, you will need to show the proctor that all notes have been erased.

Pretty straight. A variant on the theme is not allowed

Re: GRE at Home - What we do know so far [#permalink]
@Carcass, Hi, I've few questions regarding taking GRE at home. I would be great if you can provide the answers.

1. Is it one time activity to show your screen from mobile and keep it away? Asking since I don't have portable mirror. And in rare scenario, I've read that proctor had changed and asked guy to take mobile and show screen in the middle and terminated his exam for no reason. :|. Saying that he got up from chair, while proctor himself asked him.

2. What happens when power goes off?

3 I've construction going on nearby. So, a little bit drilling sound will come sometime as house is not soundproof.

4. Also heard the stories where proctor asked girl to lower the camera as he suspect that something is under, but she was wearing one piece and he was just flirting as he asked again to keep camera breast, giving the excuse that her face is not visible unless she tilt it? Can we resist in such case? Asking since ETC doesn't respond and accept whatever proctoru says.

Taking at center isn't option as I don't want to take risk and it's more than 300 KM.

I do not know. The best advice I could give you is to have a room with a clean background: no refrigerator or else. Stuff like that. The mirror should be useful unless you do have a laptop or a camera you can move around to show that nothing is in there of suspicious

Quote:
Camera must be able to be moved to show a 360-degree view of the room, including your tabletop surface, before the test


2. What happens when power goes off?

The exam should restart from that point and a connection established once again

3 I've construction going on nearby. So, a little bit drilling sound will come sometime as house is not soundproof.

You should avoid this. Try it out

4. Also heard the stories where proctor asked girl to lower the camera as he suspect that something is under, but she was wearing one piece and he was just flirting as he asked again to keep camera breast, giving the excuse that her face is not visible unless she tilt it?

I have no comment on this. Sorry

I hope my answer was useful somehow
