Dry Erase Boards?

in CCNA & CCENT
I am new here and was wondering if anyone other than myself has had trouble with sitting for CCNA exam and having to use a 9x16" eraseable board and broad marker. Had to wait (with my clock ticking) for exam admin to come and wipe my board. Seems to me sub-netting takes more space than boards allow...

    Just go buy a fine tip dry erase marker. I did, and have never had an issue using it. The test center looked at and checked to make sure it was truly dry erase, and they said no problme.

    Whatever strikes my fancy...

    I asked for multiple boards, they gave them to me. The marker they gave me was huge and was hard to write.

    First time i tried 640-801 i failed but i kept the marker with me and used to practice subnetting during my studies. The next time i went for the exam i had no trouble using the eraser board since i had gotten used to it.
    Get yourself a marker and use it for your studies.
    Good luck on your studies and upcoming exam.

    You can request a pen and paper. It syas that either are ok for sitting the exams.
    I HATE dry erase boards. I always ask for a pen and some paper, and they always give it to me.
    If you are like me and hate the boards, just ask for a pen and some paper.

    Some testing centers are bastards and dont know the correct policies, paper and pen is acceptable as the last poster said, but call ahead and make sure they will give them to you, and if not, choose a testing center that will. I know people that were denied paper and pen and choose one that would.

    I requested pencil and scratch paper and was refused. Then I asked for a couple of boards and was refused. Called Vue to complain and they told me 'only' dry erase and marker was policy now!

    Try a prometric center if its possible in your geography.

    I go to a Prometric site, because that is all we have in our little town.
    But I did use a Vue center up by San Francisco and they gave me paper.

    I would go to Prometric then and ask them if they use paper.
