    It would be wrong for me to give any sort of rule – everyone is different, and whichever you start with, the most important thing is to allocate your time between questions (it is better to have all questions part finished rather than some questions not attempted).

    However, the examiner himself did say at a meeting I attended last week that in December Question 1 was difficult and that students would have been better attempting Section B first because there were some easier marks to be had in Section B.

    With regard to the 15 minutes, I think it is best spent first reading the requirements (not the body) of each questions – deciding what is required and therefore which order to attempt them in, and underlining key requirements. Then you can spend time reading the body of whichever question you decide to attempt first.
