Can I ask for more paper at the start of a VCE LOTE Exam?

[humanbeing]

Hello,

This is for the listening sections as I find that the small amount of space that they give us on the right hand side of the paper is not enough to write down as much as possible of what I hear.

Can I ask for more paper to write notes on for myself. How do I let the assessors know that the extra notes I've written is for myself and not for them to mark?

Also, any tips specifically for the Italian Exam and the new Section 2: Part B: Reading and Responding? For this section, are we 100% going to get an image which we have to draw on for our answers in addition to a written text?

I would really, really appreciate any help or advice from anyone who has done a LOTE written exam about this.
TIA

Anyone ever done this?
Do they actually give you more paper if you ask for it before the exam starts or in reading time?
(Pls respond, my exam is tomorrow!)
