in order.

The first section puts me in the mood and i try to save time by finishing it in 30 mins, and the 2nd section i just regurgitate so around 40 mins and then i have 50 for the last part where i can add extra points if the time allows it.


and yes, im dreading the modules because its all 40 mins etc.

i did 1,3,2

i always do 1 first cos i read the texts in reading time and like having them fresh in my brain to do comprehension

and then i stared at the questions for number 2 and realised i couldnt adapt my story to it so i did section 3

and then did section 2 cos i had to lol, wasnt so bad once i started i just kept making crap up.

I did section III, then I, then II.
I go into the exam with my head full of essay, write for too long, make up time on reading task which I did in like 30 minutes in the trial and still got 15/15 for, then go on to creative writing cause I uck at it andI'm a woose so I leave the worst for last xp I also wrote until they said pens down, so my story had like a paragraph to go, but I don't think it will matter.

Section I first.. it took a lot longer than I had planned
Section III second so that I didn't forget any quotes or ideas in my head
Section II last, and it only took me 15 minutes to write it out so I had time to go back and add things to the other sections

Section 3 (spent about 55mins on this...)
Section 1 - but I left out the last two questions (4+5 = 9 marks)
Section 2 - didn't have much time left, so i cut out 1/4 and summarised it in brief words
Section 1 - finished the 4 and 5 marker questions in the remaining 5 mins, but it was VERYYYYYYYY dodgy. just HAD to put something down ya know.
