Reading on Paper vs. Computer

<p>I do find that taking the GRE on a computer bothers me.</p>

<p>When I prepare for the GRE, I read on the books most of the times, and kind of get used to thinking when facing papers. But the actual test is on the computer, in which I have to stare at the screen for 4 hours. It really annoys me, and I tend to feel that I underperformed in such situation. Do any of you have the same experience? How do you overcome this problem?</p>

<p>The ETS website has a downloadable program to help you with that: PowerPrep II. However it only has two practice tests.</p>

<p>New! POWERPREP® II, Version 2.0 Software: Preparation for the computer-based GRE revised General Test</p>

<p>In addition to the sample questions, strategies and tips available here on this site, this free software also includes two full-length practice tests. <strong><em>These timed tests simulate the test taking experience, including the test-taker friendly design features like moving back and forth and changing answers within a section, as well as the on-screen calculator.</em></strong>

<p>I totally agree it’s annoying to shift from paper to computer. I hope these links help! There’s also the possibility that any study books you bought have a CD with practice tests on it, too.</p>

<p>im sure u can like request a sort of paper testing, though it may be offered in a more limited window at a higher price…</p>
