You cannot use a tablet or other mobile devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chrome or Firefox browser.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Private space.<\/strong> You cannot take the test in public (e.g. a park or coffee shop) and no one else can be in the room.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Desk or table and chair.<\/strong> You cannot take the test lying in bed or on a couch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Webcam.<\/strong> You\u2019ll need to be able to move it around to show the proctor a 360-degree view of your room including your desk or table.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Microphone and speaker.<\/strong> You need this to talk with the proctor. However, you cannot use headphones, earbuds or anything else that covers your ears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>They also have some restrictions, including no food or drink during the test and no accessories, such as tie clips, cufflinks, jewelry, headbands, etc.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"notetaking\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What Are The Rules Regarding the Whiteboard and Note Taking During the Online GRE?<\/h2>\n<p>There is one major difference between taking the GRE general test at home and at a testing center: <strong>you cannot use regular scratch paper<\/strong>. You\u2019ll need to use a whiteboard with a dry erase marker OR paper with a transparent sheet protector and erasable marker in order to erase all notes in view of the proctor.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had a lot of questions from students asking about the GRE whiteboard, transparent sheet protectors, and note-taking in general. To get answers, we reached out to ETS and Magoosh students who have successfully taken the GRE at home, to get official information.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-19785\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><strong>What if I don&#8217;t have access to a whiteboard or sheet protector?

Were you allowed to have more than one?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morgan, Magoosh Student: I used transparent plastic report covers and fine tipped whiteboard markers. <u>They let me have a whiteboard eraser which helped save time because I had to erase between every problem to make sure I had enough space to work on the next problem.<\/u> But I also took my exam on a light table and was able to see the black whiteboard marker on the transparent cover against the light table, if I had a dark table I wouldn\u2019t have been able to see it. I hated not having pen and paper because once I worked on a problem I had to erase my progress (in order to have room for the next one) and couldn\u2019t go back and pick up where I left off if I wanted to come back to the problem later.<\/p>\n<p>I had three transparent sheets on the desk (they didn\u2019t seem to care how many I had)* but it took too much time flipping back and forth between them so I only used one and just erased it between each problem. A small whiteboard would have been more ideal than flimsy cover sheets, but they did the job.<\/p>\n<p>*<i>Important note from Magoosh: We don&#8217;t believe that students are officially allowed more than one transparent sheet protector. We imagine that there is some variability based on the proctor, but we <u>recommend practicing with only one whiteboard or sheet protector<\/u> and then asking the proctor before the exam if you may use more than one!<\/i><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-19785\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><strong>Can students put a blank sheet of paper in the plastic sheet protector to make their writing more readable?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ETS: Yes, they can do that as long as they can erase the markers completely.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-19785\" src=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\" srcset=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/files\/2020\/03\/light-bulb.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 30px) 100vw, 30px\" \/><strong>Do you have any tips for students using a whiteboard or transparent sheet protector to take notes and work out calculations?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Agastya, Magoosh Student: I used whiteboard marker to write.

We also recommend reading about <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/a-students-guide-to-taking-the-gre-online-with-proctoru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a Magoosh students experience with ProctorU<\/a> to help ease your mind before your GRE.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"breaks\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Do You Get Any Breaks During the GRE?<\/h2>\n<p>The GRE has six sections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>One <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/analytical-writing\/\">Analytical Writing Assessment<\/a>, including one issue essay and argument essay. This section always appears first.<\/li>\n<li>Two <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/math\/\">Math<\/a>, two <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/verbal\/\">Verbal<\/a>, and one Experimental (Math or Verbal). These sections can appear in any order.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After your third section, you get a ten-minute break, during which you can leave your seat. However, if you do not return on time, your test will be canceled and your fee will not be refunded. After all other sections, you\u2019ll get a one-minute break but you must remain in your seat. ETS does not allow any unscheduled breaks.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"decision\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Should You Take the GRE General Test at Home?<\/h2>\n<p>It depends. The requirements may feel onerous. That said, ETS is trying to make the best of a difficult situation by offering this option, especially for those in countries encouraging or requiring people to stay indoors due to the rapid spread of coronavirus. Also, note that several schools and programs are also trying to make the best of this difficult situation by <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/grad-schools-that-dont-require-gre\/\">waiving their GRE requirement<\/a>. You&#8217;ll want to see if this applies to you before deciding whether or not to take the online GRE.<\/p>\n<p>To determine if taking the GRE general test at home is right for you, you\u2019ll want to think about your at-home situation. If you have a private space and can spend four hours (<a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/how-long-is-the-gre\/\">the length of the GRE<\/a>) without interruptions, then this could be a good option. If, like me, you have two young kids at home and your family is required to mostly stay indoors, then this might be more challenging, and you may want to wait until test centers open again.<\/p>\n<p>For students requiring accommodations: <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">If you were originally planning to take the GRE with accommodations, it&#8217;s important to note that the at home GRE test does not offer accommodations at this point in time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As of April 14, 2020, ETS is providing <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/gre-accommodations-disability\/\">accommodations<\/a> including (but not limited to) extended time, extra breaks, screen magnification, and selectable colors for students taking the GRE at home!<\/p>\n<p>Feeling unsure? You can try it out first! ETS offers <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/gre-practice-test\/\">two free practice tests<\/a>, so try to take one at home using the exact same setup you\u2019d use for the actual test. Follow the proper rules for breaks and food and drink, and see if it works for you. You could even turn on a Zoom or Google Meet and share your screen with a friend in order to replicate the feeling of being monitored (I never thought I\u2019d be writing something like that!).<\/p>\n<h3>Online GRE Advantages<\/h3>\n<p>If you do decide to take it at home, you do have some advantages. Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Over the course of your studies, take a few practice tests in the same setup that you plan to use for the actual test. In addition to the two free tests, ETS offers <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/ets-gre-practice-tests-powerprep\/\">three paid ones<\/a>. Magoosh also offers practice tests in <a href=\"http:\/\/gre.magoosh.com\">our product<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Take these tests at the same time of day that you plan to take your actual test, so you can develop a rhythm and routine.<\/li>\n<li>Use the same device you plan to for test day.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t use regular scratch paper; use a whiteboard or paper with a transparent sheet protector instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let us know if you have any questions. You can also reach out to our team at <a href=\"mailto:help@magoosh.com\">help@magoosh.com<\/a> for more information.
