What I would do is tackle the module or core that you feel most confident with. E.g I'm most confident with matrices so i'll do that first, then i'd do core , then networks and finally trig (the one that i find difficult)

and... always spend 1-2 mins or a bit longer for each question if you can't do it within that time move on and remember to write it on ur formula sheet or anywhere where you'll remember that you have to go back and do that question

So make a plan for tomorrow: which will u do first (the one you feel most confident with) and do the one you find difficult last

maybe 1-2 mins is a bit short (depending if you have to put it in the calc or something) so prob 2-3 mins , 4 or 5 mins is the max (well for me)

per mark you should be looking at 1 and a half minute each.. if it's a two mark question then 3 minutes.. keep in mind if u want to have time at the end to look over work then you must leave room for error.. *should do that anyway*

90/4 = 22.5 min max
ideally you should be aiming at around 15min each as to leave a good 30min for checking answers and/or finish off some of the harder questions you may have skipped
