    Does anyone has any thoughts/opinions on sitting SBR/ATX paper based or CBE?
    Thank you for your thoughts.

    Just wanted to clarify, I am wondering whether if you have any preference to CBE or paper based?

    Hey,

    I sat F9 paper based, pros and cons. I felt my answers were better organised and didn’t have to worry about my poor handwriting, especially towards the end of the exam when I start to tire. I did find the constant noise of other people typing a distraction, though I’m fairly certain I suffer with “Misophonia” 😀 (I can’t tolerate the sound of people chewing). I would like to wear foam ear plugs in the exam and might check if this allowed. Getting used to the screens can be a but off putting so just be familiar with them before you sit the exam. Speaking of which, I’ve been trying the SBR specimen exam and find I can’t close the windows on the exhibits. Not sure if anybody else has experienced the same issues?

    Best of luck anyway!
