    Hi Rainbowacca,
    What I am doing: read just requirements of first question, this is helping me to get an ideea of what examiner is expecting. Next go straight to questions 2-4, read requirements and choose the best question I can do in the exam.
    In the remaining time, concentrating on reading of the 1st question and planing answer..
    I cannot see any point of starting reading 1st question at the very begining of planing time.. it’s just waste of time.

    I plan to read all the requirements in both sections, decide which two questions in section B i’m gonna do. Then begin answering them if possible. I plan to do 50 mark question in section A last. Its a bit intimidating and i write better once i’ve warmed up. By the time I’m finished with section B, ideas should be flowing…
