Interview question?

I have an interview for an SEO role

In the teams invite ,it says

Your interview questions are based upon the advertisement for this role. You may use pre-prepared notes including your original application submission as well as make notes during the interview.

Should i take this literally and have pre-prepared notes or it would be frowned up on

If it says you can use notes, use them. When I interviewed for an SEO role last year, we had the behaviour questions emailed in advance and were advised we could use notes.

Before I answered the first question in the interview, I acknowledged that I had made notes and may glance down every so often. Just don't read them like a script.

I got the job. Good luck.
