Should I use scratch paper during an online consulting assessment if it is allowed?

Some assessment instructions say scratch paper is allowed, but I worry that writing too much will slow me down. Is it better to use notes only for calculations, or should I also track decisions and information from the questions?

Should I tell recruiting if I used accessibility accommodations on an online assessment?

I may request an approved accessibility accommodation for an online assessment. If I receive it, do I need to mention the accommodation separately to the recruiter or interviewer later in the process?

Mayank G.CoachUse the formal accommodation process provided by the firm or assessment platform. You generally do not need to volunteer medical or personal details beyond what the official process requires.
Should I practice online assessments on the same laptop I will use for the real test?
- Online Assessments
I normally practice on a desktop with a large monitor, but I will probably take the actual assessment on my laptop. Does practicing on the same device materially help, or is the reasoning practice what matters?
