How long is it taking people?

For those that have done past/practice exam papers, how long are you averaging per section?


Section 1&2: As low as 20mins each to as high as 30mins (with less than perfect accuracy)
Section 3: 45-65mins
2008: Accounting
2009: Chemistry, Biology, Methods CAS, Specialist, English Language
ENTER: 99.10

That looks like some good times, hope good results come with them.

For me; section 1&2: 50-60mins, section 3: 40-60mins.

finish written and spoken in about 45 mins, rest of time for the essay,
(usually use reading time to also plan the essay)

How do you usually use reading time?

I read the essay topics, pick which one suits me best and start to think about points I could make for a minute or so taking note of the subsystems that each come under, then move onto reading the texts. I do section 1/2 first, whichever one I feel more confident about, and then move onto the essay.

when i start, i do the essay plan first, followed by spoken (i have a good grasp on spoken compared to written) followed by written then the essay

PLAN :3-5minutes
SPOKEN:25-30minutes
WRITTEN :25-30minutes
essay: 45-60minutes.

what i've now doing is i cut my time 15minutes short, so i time myself, and after 1hour and 45minutes i will stop, cross a read line on the essay and keep writing to see how much time i have left to read over everything if i didn't cut my time. If you read my essays there tends to be a lot of silly typo's errors, [even in section 1 & 2, i sometimes write [15] instead of [line 15] ] =='

goodluck. 4days left T_T

It's ok to write [15] instead of [line 15], the examiners won't mind
