Is it allowed in the exam to use a pencil and paper to writ some journal entries to help my self  to arrive to the right answer and to help me do some calculations ??

thank you

but waht do you mean by "anything on it wont be tested" ?

I think when I was done with the exams, they actually shredded my paper, so there was no chance that the graders would have even seen what I had written...

Yeah, they definitely shred those...or they should. They just give the paper to you so you have SOMETHING to write on. I accidently tried to walk out with mine after my last section (FAR). I started to pick it up along with my license. I'm surprised I wasn't attacked for that.
