In the reading section, you can always go back and reread the passage, so do you really want to take notes? I think it is unnecessary and maybe waste of time. Again this is my opinion !

It is important to take notes on important (main) points of the reading since the listening will say something about main points. I always got 29 on writing, not 30.
