However, PTE test centers offer markers and a bundle of laminated squared papers, serving as an erasable booklet for note-taking purposes. It’s important to note that the marker’s nib may dry quickly if left uncapped for too long, so avoid doing so. To ensure a smooth testing experience, consider requesting one or two spare markers from the test administrator at the beginning of the exam.
