Please bring back our scratch paper. There is no reason to take this away when we have used this throughout our entire learning process. We think visually and the whiteboard disconnects our ability to focus on the exam. It's beyond frustrating!

Eliminating scratch paper is the anthethis of being an architect. NCARB should be ashamed!

Outrageous that having to deal with the whole pandemic situation, NCARB is making our experience even harder. Exams are stressful enough, there is no need to add additional difficulties to struggle with.

I get anxious when testing using computer, especially when I see the time. I think having a scratch paper or white board will help a lot.

Paper and pen is how we learn and work through solutions every single day at our architecture jobs. Please help us. It's the right thing to do.

What is the reason for not allowing scratch paper?

Most of us still use paper and a pen to think through problems. This is a terrible mistake!

NCARB clearly did not think this one through! How is a digital scratch paper a good substitute for plain old scratch paper?

I took PcM 2/22 and the white board did not retain imputed info, extremely frustrating!

Clearly the whiteboard system was not tested thoroughly, if at all by the NCARB boomers who created it. A better solution would be to provide a stylus for notetaking on the computer, BUT by no means does this mean NCARB should be using paying test takers to be guinea pigs for their "innovations." At least pay the small fee to hire a decent software developer...

This change is going to hurt so many more people than help!

The whiteboard tool makes us significant slower the moment we need to be as fast and productive as possible. Please bring back the scratch paper at the Prometric centers.

I detest using white board in replace for scratch paper. I SHOULD NOT be using any seconds trying to drawing any number/letter/symbol on a computer screen.
