Hi, After giving several mocks, I know that I need around 4 sheets of A4 sheets to attempt the paper. As far as I know examiner (in actual CAT) gives only 2 sheets of paper. Can we ask for more sheets? Is it possible to ask for these sheets at the start of the examination itself so as to not waste any time later on asking for extra sheets (because i know i definitely would be needing extra sheets)? or do we have to manage in those 2 sheets only?. Please help, imp..
