Does anyone know if the use of shortcuts is allowed on the Photoshop certification exam?

Example:  Instead of clicking on the folder icon to create a group, you use Ctrl+G

    Having written multiple ACE exams, my experience is tha they moderate the exam heavily and pretty much lock down the machine. If they ask you to recreate a certain task, it’s largely mouse driven within the exam platform interface.
