Manhattan GMAT Test Simulation Booklet w/ Marker Description
This unique product gets students comfortable with the GMAT's laminated scratch paper and special marker, a disconcerting feature of the actual test.
This essential preparation tool helps you become comfortable with the laminated scratch paper and marker that you will be given when you take an Official GMAT.
The Test Simulation Booklet consists of five laminated double-sided pages and is virtually identical to the booklet provided at official GMAT testing centers. A non-permanent marker of the same type used for the GMAT is included. You can erase your work using a damp paper towel.

This booklet is not a must have - people have scored 700+ without it, BUT, consider these arguments:
1. This booklet and pen are exact replicas of what is used at the test center, and the more you can be comfortable with that environment, the better. (This set comes with one pen, but you will actually get 2 at your test center)
2. You are probably not used to writing notes and solving questions on a spiral-bound dry-erase board with a dry-erase marker pen. Having used this pen and board for a test can help you avoid some discomforts and set expectations properly
3. The size of this board (see customer images for comparison) is huge - much larger than expected (larger than OG 12) - it will take a good portion of your desk space, so again, something else good to know
!!!IMPORTANT!!!
Regardless of whether you buy this set of not, remember 2 things:
1. Test the pens at the test center - many report that they get dry pens that do not write, and then end up exchanging them mid-test while the clock is ticking
2. Close the cap of the pen if you don't plan to write for a little while

Is this booklet and ink pen similar to the real GMAT test plastic scratchpad and ink pen?
The answer is a resounding YES. The size, number of pages, and the materials used for the booklet are identical. The ink pen is EXACTLY the same.
Should you spend the money on this booklet and ink pen? After all, do you REALLY need a simulation scratchpad and ink pen for GMAT?
In my opinion, yes. Unfortunately, the GMAT scratchpad and ink pen takes some getting used to. The scratchpad is plastic and the ink pen does not write as precisely on the scratchpad as it does on paper. Trust me, the last thing you need is learning to use the ink pen and the scratchpad during the actual GMAT. Do not assume practicing on paper is a perfect substitute.
