Yes, I totally agree with this piece of advice. Use the flight plan form for even the 1, 2, 3 mark questions. It will help you to organise your thought processes on paper and will most probably save you time because of that.
The biggest issue for me in Flight Planning was having enough time to finish all the questions. If you can get familiar with the type of calculator ASL uses, especially in terms of using the memory store and recall functions, this will help to save time, as well as reduce the chances of keying errors. I believe AFT sells these calculators on their online shop for this exact reason.
