Which qus. should I attempt first? Part A(50 marks) or Part B(25 marks each)?

According to ACCA advice in their page, they referred Part B.

reasons:
-qus are much brief with organised info. so easy to pick topics.
-less time consuming.
-can answer more marks in first half of exam.

Will you please suggest your opinion with reason which order should be more effective to start with?
(N.B: I think I am little slow in writing, which cost me severe time pressure in exam.)

Some people prefer to start with a short question, others the long question.

I advise the long question. You need to spend a long time reading and jndeestanding it (10 – 15 minutes) and I think it is difficult to devote e ougu time tomthat in the middle of the exam. However, if you do start with Q1 it is ESSENTIAL that you stop after the allocated time and move on. If you steal time from the shorter questions it is difficult to score well on them.
