From personal experience, having taken my first CCNA exam several years back (and quite a number of Cisco exams thereafter), I was able to use the shortcuts during the test simulations (as long as they are not ambiguous command shortcuts and are supported).

I for one use a lot of short cuts and with the simulators they have to be fully typed out for instance FastEthernet 0/0 instead of Fa 0/0. A simple spelling mistake can cost you the points. Now I try to get myself to do it the long way for future tests. :) I am noticing how the simulations really keep getting testers really tied up.
