Remember: starting in the July/August 2008 window, there is a new format for completing the research tab of the simulations.
Be sure to practice doing it at least once so that you're reasonably proficient with the new format prior to entering the testing room. Failing to do so could cost you precious minutes as your exam clock winds down.

Is it ok to use the research function during the exam to search for some material that might help you write your communication response. Ofcourse, I do not intend to copy and paste.... just pick on their brains a little.....
It's ok to do that - but I don't recommend it unless you have over an HOUR for each sim. Time is precious once you get to the sims...
I used it on the AUD. Of course, it seems you have so much more time on that exam
