    Hi Tutor

    The Exam is 3hrs 15 mins

    What do you recommend that the planning time be for Q1- my thoughts about 0.5 hr planning and 1 hr writing

    Q2 /3 say 15 mins planning n writing 0.5hr.

    So the last 15 mins – making sure all other parts of Qs are done -ie filling in any missing bits or parts

    OR: The 15 mins RAPT: I could add to Q1 the 10mins, 2 mins to Q2 and Q3 add the last 3 mins

    These are my thoughts – please advise accordingly

    Many Thanks

    Kind Regards
    Naomi

    Either would work. It depends how difficult it is to assimilate the information in Q1. Dealing with twice as much information can take more time than proportionate as the complexities accumulate, so 15 minutes might bemgenerpus for Q2 and Q3 and 30 might be a little short for Q1. Stay flexible, within reason.
