    Hi Kim,

    For planning time, do you recommend 30 minutes for question 1 and;

    10 minutes for question 2 and 3

    so 1.5 minutes per mark for question 1 and 1.4 minutes per mark for question 2 and 3 just for writing.

    Becuase i think better planning leads to more clear and concise answers ? and also i think can avoid repetition because when you have time but no ideas to write, you tend to repeat what is mentioned in the question and lead to ilegible answers with no point.

    So do you think it’s quite reasonable ? or feasible ? with such allocation from a marker/lecturer perspective ?

    Thank you Kim !

    for planning it won’t be that long but i believe should have complete plan therefore during the writing time, i simply focus on writing with better legible handwriting and do not worry about the timing issues since i have completed the plan and just have to stick to the time plan
