Hi John,
So far, time management seems to be a big, big challenge for me. Reading and understanding the scenario properly and sorting all the numbers carefully alone could take up to 15 minutes for me sometimes or more – especially 50 markers!
I feel quiet confident of passing but I’m worried I may not be able to do everything I know within the time. Any ideas?August 27, 2018 at 7:36 pm #469683Allocate your time between questions and between parts of questions.
You will get more marks by handing in an answer to every part of every question (even if not one of the parts is finished) than you would get if you left out one question completely.
Nobody is ever going to complete the whole paper properly, and remember that you anything above 50 marks is almost a bonus, because you will have passed.The reason is that however difficult you might find a question, you can always get a few marks pretty quickly by doing anything at all sensible – it is the later marks that take more and more time (and you are more and more likely together wrong anyway 🙂 )
