READING TIME

[physics]

  i personally think that 15 minutes of reading time would be better off being used as writing time.
do ppl agree or disagree?

I find that the 15 minutes that we're given to read through the questions are pretty useful. I use that time to plan out which questions I should tackle first and what my responses will be. If I wasn't given 15 mins to prepare I'd probably freak out in the exam room.

Reading time is good, but only if you know how to use it efficiently

It'd certainly make it a lot easier to have 15 extra minutes in the English and Literature exams.  xD

Just being able to write down as we think, would free up a lot of brain power.

In Methods I had so much spare reading time. It didn't help that I had decided not to do any mental calculations.

Yeah i reckon, 5 mins is ok for reading time. But 15 is too long, in the end you just sit there waiting for them to say you can start. This is why when i do prac exams i dont do the reading time, just get straight to it.

But i agree with EvangelionZeta, it certainly does help for english.

Hahah yep but its highly unlikely that they will make it different, but i guess we can always hope.

I'm in favor of it being kept at 15, it's more time for people to become restless and agitated.

Isn't that a bad thing?

[akira88]

The extra shake tests your mettle. Besides, it's not a bad thing provided that you aren't the one panicking.

That's my way of giving a subtle heads-up, by the way.
