Hello sir,
Could you please advise on the time managing during exam for each section?
You should work on the basis of 1.8 minutes per mark, and therefore you should allow 54 minutes for Section A, 54 minutes for Section B, and 36 minutes for each of the Section C questions.
This comes to a total of 3 hours. Assuming that you are taking the paper-based exam, then you have 3 hours 15 minutes and you should use the extra 15 minutes firstly to have a quick look through the paper at the start of the exam (you can do the Sections in any order), and secondly to make sure at the end of the exam that you guess at any remaining MCQ’s that you either did not have time to finish or that you could not do – you must hand in answers to all of the MCQ’s, even if they are guesses.
When attempting the MCQ’s go for the short questions first and those on topics you feel happy with. When you have got them out of the way, then go back and spend more time on the longer and harder ones. If you come to a question that you know that you know nothing about, then don’t waste any time – just guess.
In Section C, make sure you do something for every part of both questions. You will probably not have time to finish every part of every question (or maybe you will get stuck) but you can always do something, and you will get more marks that way than if you do nothing at all for some parts.
