    I'm wondering if I'll have time to do the following & looking for your opinions.

    I've terrible handwriting & spelling under pressure, so while I'm listening to the transcripts, I've planned on scribbling them down in pencil & then when I have the answers, to write them out quickly again in pen & rub out the pencil scribbles.

    Would I have time to do this, do you think?
    Do you know if you have much time, if any, at the end of the exam, i.e. when the tape last plays & the papers are collected of you?

    Also, my teacher has said, the when we 1st receive the papers, that even if we're told not to, I should turn my answer booklet over anyway & start going through the questions so I've time to figure out what's been asked.

    What have ye been told about that? Should the superintendents have a prob with that or what?

    As far as I know, once the tape gets to the end you hand up your answers.

    Like the supervisor will probably give everyone a minute just to finish writing any answers or whatever, but I don't think you'd have enough time to do that.

    But there's time after every section....so you might be able to do it then.

    There's really long pauses on the tape in between each section, so you should have time to write it in then.

    You'd have time, but why bother? I'd say do it all in pen and if you need to change answers at the end just cross if off. It's not a test of your neatness. Pencils are very noisy when writing, I hate other people using them during the listening.
