They read awkwardly to me. Here's how I'd rephrase them:
1. Do you think students will be allowed to use dictionaries during tests or not?
2. Do you think using dictionaries is allowed during writing tests or not?
Hello. I will be very grateful if you check the sentences:
1)"Do you think students are not allowed to use dictionaries while writing tests?"
2)"Do you think using dictionaries is not allowed while writing tests?"
Do they sound natural and standard English? I'm especially interested in the combination "do you think" and the following negative structure.
Thank you for help.
