4. FAQ
Q: Can i install the Vista Exam Browser on my Mac?
A: Nope unless you run bootcamp. Note that installing on a vmware or similar kind of virtualization is possible but considered cheating as your screen cannot be locked.
Q: Can i use the Mac Version of Excel for CAT?
A: Yes and no. Excel 2008 for mac does not support VBA but 2003 does. However there are some stuff that 2003 does not support so i would recommend using a virtualization software or bootcamp to install office 2007 for windows.
Q: Are there mac versions of Eviews/PHstat….?
A: Most of the statistical/excel plugins are not compatible for mac so you would need to use a virtualization software or bootcamp to install them.
