Hi, sometimes i found that the speaking session is really hard for me to speak during the given time. So I want to memorize my own template, and use my 10 minutes to write down the template in my Note. Since I read that note will not reduce my score, is it possible to start scratching my template before speaking session begin?
I ask because I read from the OG the following tips:

Hi rizary,
Welcome to gmatclub!
I think the text you've quoted means memorizing responses, i.e. the whole texts to the set questions. And it seems what you mean is memorizing structure - Intro, example 1, example 2, conclusion.
In my opinion, you'll just not have enough time to refer to the structure. It has to be automatic, and to make it automatic you have to practice. I did it this way. I watched the instructional videos here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/toefl-instru ... 46203.html
I wrote down the structure that these videos offer, and started practicing. I would look at the random question, scratch some ideas on the paper, and record my response. So, if on the real test you'll have 15 seconds to prepare, I did the same during the practice. Then, I would listen to my own response, and tried to find the areas I could improve. It was quite difficult in the beginning, but with practice I was doing better. So, when the exam day came, I knew what to expect, my responses were more or less automatic, and I was more confident.
I hope this helps!
Good luck!
