What are divide the time by the marks?Show answer
Allocate the 2 hours 30 minutes across the three sections roughly in proportion to their marks, with planning and checking time built in. An unfinished section loses straightforward marks that strength elsewhere cannot recover, so protect time for every section.
What is plan before writing?Show answer
A brief plan fixes the answer before you write. For a structured question, fix the moment and the choices; for the Section B essay, fix the concept and the moments across the play, so the answer is coherent, covers the whole play, and includes evaluation rather than drifting or repeating.
