    Hi Tutor,

    I am having a panic moment here but I think I can fix it as there are still 3 days before exam.

    I always feel I am not reading fast enough, and considering how lenghty the cast studies it, I feel I struggle to find the write balancce between reading, writing a plan and producing the actual answer. Do you have any advise?

    I have like a timetable for the day as follow:

    10:00-10:15 reading time (majority of the 15 mins use for Q1)
    10:15-11:45 Q1 (15 mins for plan, and 1 hr 15 mins for writing answer)
    11:45 – 12:30 Q2 (15 mins for reading and plan, 30 mins for writing answer)
    12:30-1:15 structure same as Q2

    Does it seems to be a realistic plan?
    Also, in this 3 days, can you advise what should I focus on to max the chances of passing?

    Your timetables sound fine, though you might find that with the two smaller questions you can manage with less time reading and planning – though it depends on the question.

    For your last three days, the best thing you can do is to study recent questions and answers and note how the answers make use of almost every piece of information in the question.
