    Hello, can someone explain the time allocation per section to me? I read that it is 1.8 minutes for 1 mark. This will add up to 72 minutes in section C. Then, will this make section A and B 108 minutes? Will the 108 minutes be divided into 2 equal parts for A and B?
    I mean, section A has a total of 30 marks. This will be 54 minutes each. Am I correct? I am asking this because I read somewhere that you should spend 27 minutes each in section A and B.

    Section A is 30 marks and so you should allocate 54 minutes
    Section B is 30 marks and so you should again allocate 54 minutes
    Section C is 2 questions of 20 marks each and so you should allocate 36 minutes for each question.

    I have no idea where you could have read 27 minutes for sections A and B !! 🙂
