Hi,

What I would recommend is having a plan for time going into that exam. I recommend after reading time is concluded, to go through the paper and at the end of every question write down the time you want to be finished that question. Stick to the general rule of a mark a minute.

So for example, writing time starts at 12:00. Therefore, at the end of multi-choice write down 12:15 (as there are 15 marks in multi-choice), and then say question 1 is 6 marks, at the end of the page write down 12:21. Then lets say question 2 is 10 marks, write down 12:31. Do this for the whole paper. Although this will take a couple of minutes, you'll make up this time in multi-choice and be ahead of schedule.

This method is helpful because as you're working through you can see if you are going to finish in time, and if you're behind in time, it tells you, you need to speed up in order to finish. Whereas if you're well ahead of time, you can think questions through a little bit more.

The exam in 120 marks in 120 minutes so if you want time to read over your work, you may want to work a bit faster but that's up to you.

Anyway, that is my advice  :) :)
Best of luck for the exam, I hope everyone does very well :)
