    The are 180 minutes for 100 marks. If you use your calculator then it means 1.8 minutes per mark, which mean 18 minutes for a 10 mark question and 27 minutes for a 15 mark question!

    (Or even without your calculator, double the marks and subtract 10% of what you get 🙂 )

    So we shouldn’t consider time for part a and B separately.
    Just use rough timing

    Yes – rough timing. But it is better to have attempted every question (even if none of them are completely finished) than to leave out one question completely because you lost track of the time.
