Effectively, no. Whether or not scratch paper is technically available in your testing environment, Listen and Repeat gives you no practical window to use it — the sentence plays once, and you're expected to begin repeating it back immediately afterward, with no pause built in. This task is designed to test auditory memory directly, not note-supported recall.

Even if you could jot down a word or two while the sentence plays, doing so would cost you more than it gives back: splitting attention between listening and writing means you're likely to catch less of the actual sentence, and a partial note ("library... nine... tonight") doesn't reliably reconstruct exact word order and function words the way the scoring rubric requires. This is different from TOEFL's Listening section, where longer lectures and conversations genuinely reward note-taking — Listen and Repeat's short, single-play format works against it.
Since notes aren't a viable strategy, the task comes down to training your working memory directly: listen for the sentence's overall structure and meaning rather than trying to transcribe it word by word in your head, and use the small context image that accompanies each sentence as a mental anchor for the scene, which makes the sentence easier to reconstruct from memory. See our guide on how to remember long sentences for specific memory techniques that replace note-taking.
