Hello Sugavanam,
Hope you found the column format useful.
I must say here that I did not get the format right the first time. It somewhat evolved with practice on past exam papers and comments on my answers by PJW. I think you will find some changes between the earlier tables on this website compared to the later ones. I then used it for last years exams. Hope this gives candidates the confidence to use them.
For me this format uses the least possible time to prepare in the exam compared to the Network Rail table (the 11202?).
One question I have been asked with respect to making copies during the exam and would like to post it here is that you need only to prepare one hand written copy. Use the A3 size sheet provided for the exams. You can then photocopy the rest that you need. Typically up to 3 copies is generally sufficient.
I have used a 2B mechanical pencil for the exams. As the entries are closely spaced, having an eraser plate (like those use by draftsman) will be very useful for making amendments.
Hope this is useful.
