What candidates say on Reddit
The working surface should not be the surprise.
Not everyone finds it difficult. But firsthand TMUA and ESAT accounts show why one familiarisation session can be useful.
A thicker marker changes your writing
Another candidate said the marker made them write larger than usual and manage the available space differently.
Read the Reddit comment ↗One trial run revealed the difference
A student who tried laminated A4 before the test found clear working harder than on paper—and was glad to discover that early.

One candidate reported losing time when ink would not erase and a replacement surface was slow to arrive.
