If you do you'll be kicked out of the test for attempting to cheat.

my cm doesn't allow it bc people can put the answers or like formulas in their paper and hide it, he just brings a big box of paper to the test and hands out ~10 to each student

Are you allowed to write down anything on the scratch paper RIGHT before the test? I was thinking of drawing dividers to organize my work (allocate top half for P1-5, allocate bottom half for P6-10, etc), but I'm not sure if that's allowed

I do that after I do 1-10 because those problems are usually easy and don't require much thought and I use ~1 piece of scratch paper on the first 10, both sides
