What is the structure of the paper?
Show answer

What are manage time by the marks?
Show answer
A common, avoidable loss is poor time management: lavishing time on early answers and leaving later ones thin or unfinished. Divide the available time in proportion to the marks. The two sections are equal, so split your time roughly evenly between them, and within each section give the largest block to the high-mark mandatory question. Watch the clock and move on; a complete script of solid answers beats a brilliant first half and a rushed second.
