Hi Rebecca, I was wondering if we are allowed to use two note boards to write on during test day (i.e pearson supplies someone with two pad's to take notes on). I've heard an expert say it varies from site to site, but I wanted to know the official rules.

Thanks for the question! Candidates are provided with a booklet of five (5) noteboards at a time. If you fill up all of the boards, you must raise your hand to receive another one. I hope that clarifies.

Hi Rebecca, I think that was my fault in the previous post, I don't think I was clear with how I worded my question. What I meant to ask was can candidates use two separate note boards at once during the exam?[/i]

I have never heard of two boards at one time. You get two pens and if you are lucky they both work!
If someone is getting two of those five noteboard packets at the same time you can see that this is an unfair advantage.

But you did not know if perhaps other people had two notepads at a time, so you were certainly not trying to get an advantage. And you were told it varies, so...

Hello, Hutch27. No, you cannot have more than one set of boards at once. You can ask for another, but you would need to turn in your other set. Thanks for asking.
