    Dear Ken,

    Please can you advise which section I should attempt first? I know it’s obviously personal choice but what would you yourself do? I am terrified of this exam even though I have been preparing for it.

    Thank you

    My own view is that you should attempt Q1 first. It is largest and therefore requires more careful reading and planning than the others. I think this is easier at the start of the exam when you are sure to be able to devote enough time to reading, understanding the requirements and planning your answer (at least 15 minures for Q1).
