Is the written assessment typed or handwritten? if you don't know, what is the normal standard at most firms?

I get really bad hand cramps when I write, that means I struggle with time-assessed things, so I'd just like to know in advance.

You can ask them for an adjustment and use a laptop if it is hand written.
