    Hi Sir

    How would you recommend I approach this paper. I’m seeing mixed reviews with most people suggesting completing section b prior to section a. With the removal of the 15minutes rapt not sure how to devise my strategy. Also would like to thank you for the revision questions on section a, they have helped me tonnes.

    Regards
    Kalpana

    I personally would do section A first, but I don’t think it makes any difference.

    Most important is to allocate your time so that you do attempt every part of every question. It is much more important to have done something (however little) for every part of every question than to have left one question out completely.

    Also, make extra sure that your workings are easy to follow, your writing is neat, and you state assumptions. The marks are for the workings and not for the final answer.
