I’m worried. I don’t remmeber many. I remember the last one. May have written at the wrong places.
 
Btw, you DO NOT get penalized for not writing in the templates - the CFAI even writes this on their website (see below).
You can answer the question on the lined pages, but you are just doing yourself a disservice as I feel the templates are the most efficient way to answer a question. I remember zooooooming through the 2012 CFAI mock because about half the questions were template format.
FROM THE WEBSITE: http://www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfaprogram/exams/Pages/level_III_exam_prep.aspx
  • Follow the instructions given in the template and record your answer on the templates provided. CFA Institute grades the answers written on the pages labeled for a specific answer, regardless of whether the template is used. You will not be penalized if you do not use the template provided.
    • Templates are provided to assist candidates in providing only the information necessary to directly answer the question.
    • Instructions in bold print immediately preceding a question will direct you to the page numbers of the template (if a template is provided).
    • Valuable time is wasted by repeating words from a template that is already provided for you.
 
The only thing which is probably important is to label answers correctly

correct, as long as you label, that’s fine too
