I guess instead of writing fast you just have to type fast...
I'm a recent grad (I sometimes feel old though...) and I would have liked the option to use a laptop for my exams. I'm not sure all my classmates would have though - some people don't have the typing skills.
Either way, you have to get as much down as possible in an exam that seems to take forever, but isn't always long enough.
