General exam query

Hi
I have a few queries relating to the April 2020 online examination of SP5.
1) Will we be allowed to take a prinout of the question paper? (Else it might be difficult to switch between the ques paper and the word file where we would be typing the answers)
2) How will we draw graphs if the ques asks regarding the payoff diagrams for options?
3)For the numericals we will use excel,and paste everything on word?And the excel file wont be sent to the examiner?
Regards,
Nimisha
 
My understanding is that you can print if you want to - as your going to be downloading the exam paper
No graphs will be required, so maybe instead of drawing payoff diagrams, they might give you a diagram and ask you what it is.
No excel files are allowed to be uploaded, and if you take the last 2 sittings, the exam questions haven't been very numerical - no long performance attribution type question - so maybe the trend will continue - if you use excel for instance there is risk that you won't show workings so mistakes be harder to pick up
