Hello!
I would like to ask on the exam approach to P papers.
The length of the questions can be too long (especially for option papers), and we have to write more on explaining the points to the examiner.
Yes, 1.8 marks per minute gives the number of minutes per question.
So any tips on speeding up while answering the questions?
Thank you.

Secondly, appreciate that the examiner always writes more in his answers than he expects from students.
Third, remember the pass mark is 50%. It is better to attempt every part of every question (even if you do not finish any of the parts) than to do some parts in full and leave out other parts completely.
Fourth check the marking schemes at the end of the examiners answers, and soo what the main points getting the marks are,
