Please would anyone help if this is true? I heard that children are not allowed to write in the actual text paper (verbal or Non Verbal). Instead they are given A4 white paper to do the work. IMO this is time consuming.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I don't know about the school you are referring to, but certainly, the grammar schools my girls have sat for, it has been the case that you cannot write on the actual test paper. I'm sure if you ring the school they will tell you.

My daughter took the exam last year and I can confirm that they were not allowed to write on the exam paper, but were given a separate sheet of paper for rough work. So it is important to practise doing the workings out using a separate sheet.
