Writing Sample Time to Correct Bubbles

Just curious, could you use a minute or two of the writing sample time to tidy up bubbles from the real sections?

I just mean, for example, if you bubble a wrong answer, or worse a few wrong answers, could you just mark to yourself the correct answer, and fix the bubbling mistake during the Writing Sample's 35 minutes? I know it wouldn't amount to much but just im wondering if there's anything in the actual administration of the test that would stop you from doing this.

Sorry if this ethically dubious or whatever...

They take your answer sheet before you even begin the writing portion, so it isn't even possible...

It is ethically dubious, which is why they take the answer sheets away before the writing sample begins.
