    Hi, I have just completed this question, for part a I wrote far too much with regards to the benefits and costs which put time pressure on me for part b.

    How do you qualify how much to write, for example part a was 15 marks for benefits and costs, I was able to identify various from the scenario but so I can develop my time management and not waste valuable time how many points am I looking to present in my answer?

    The marking scheme denotes 1 mark for each relevant point so is not really of much help to me.

    Your feedback as always is much appreciated.

    15 minutes = 15 x 1.8 27 minutes. Stop writing after that.

    I can’t double-guess the marking scheme: if it says 1 mark per point and there are 15 marks, then it implies 15 points.

    Time is the best indicator of the quantity to write.
