While parts of this diverge from the focus of our SIG, it's really interesting and worth the read. In the tablet vs. computer section, it does discuss potential struggles for test-takers depending on the device. Depending on which one ends up being required (or if both are required), students might need to develop different sets of skills (or two sets of skills).
