    Well, that’s an impossible one to answer – I don’t know how fast you are right now! If you are already very fast, then how can I recommend a way in which you can go faster?

    What I do with my students, when we are looking at past exam questions, is divide the number of marks in a question by 2, that gives me the number of minutes they have available to them to think of the required number of points in “memorandum, point form, one-word” style.

    You could be surprised at how difficult that is!

    And I always recommend that they should be practical and realistic but also imaginative.

    Think of the obvious and hope that you are hit by a Pringles moment – “Once you start, you can’t stop”
