Primary answer
In the Paper-Based Test (PBT), candidates are expected to perform all calculations and rough work directly on the question booklet provided; no separate sheets are allowed. In the Computer-Based Test (CBT), the test center will provide physical scratch sheets and a pen/pencil for rough work. All rough sheets must be surrendered to the invigilator before leaving the examination hall. Carrying your own rough paper or notebooks into the exam center is considered an act of malpractice and can lead to disqualification.
