Yes, you may write on the question paper when attempting IELTS Listening module and make notes if you need to. In fact, it is recommended to write and have some keywords ready before you put them on the final answer sheet. Making notes helps you to remember what you heard in the audio, because the audio is played only once and the answers won't be repeated.Also keep a note that you need to transfer the answers correctly in your answer sheet in those last 10 minutes of your listening paper. Sometimes candidates forget or miss out on transferring the answers correctly in the sheet, so keep sometime to do so.

Practice makes the man perfect. It's true! Start practicing in front of the mirror and record your voice just like it will be done in the exam. This is the best method to gain confidence for the main day and to pick up your own mistakes and correct them, so that you do not make the same mistake on the exam day.The more you practice, esp. In part 2 (cue card), the more familiar you will become with the paper and its timings. You just need to be persistent in practicing speaking because it is not a one-day game.
