    failed as 41, as I couldn’t manage time to attempt enough questions. Any one has good idea to share how to conduct the good time management in exams?
    Much appreciated!

    1.65 minutes per mark. So dont spend over 50 minutes for a 30 mark question, say. This way, you save about 15 minutes to review what u’v written.
    Hope this helps.

    Could any one share and recommend time-management tactic for P4?

    As for P3 my tactic was:

    25m planning and reading for Q1
    70m writing for Q1 (1,4 minutes per mark)

    10m for choosing questions in part B

    10m Planning Q2
    35m writing Q2

    10m Planning Q3
    10m writing Q3.

    I also wrote near every part of the requirement time (e.g. 14:35) when I should stop and go further.

    But that is applicable for P3 as scenarios are lengthier and require more time for reading.

    Could you share time-management approach for P4?
