section 1 - 45 min
section 2 - 30 min
section 3 - 45 min

Section 1 i should have written more for the 5 marker and less for the 2 mark ones. I did it the other way round so that was dumb.

Really could have used an extra 5-10 minutes for creative writing...it's so annoying how adding an extra 5 min for one section bites you in the arse for another.

You and me both!! God help me... who writes a page for a 2 mark question? And a page for the 5 mark question? I'm an idiot. Section 1 is where I will lose all my marks.

Section 1: 45 mins
Section 2: 30 mins
Section 3: 45 mins

The chick sat next to me used at least 1 hour to do Section 1. I finished the whole paper just before the time's up.

Section 1: 35 minutes
Section 3: 60 minutes
Seciton 2: 25 minutes
I did the question in the above order, I will lose all my marks in Section 2 :(

i tried this whole timing thing in my trials. i found the best way to get even distribution of marks was to stick pretty much to the time they gave. i had an extra 5 mins for section 3 up my sleeve to plan because my story was finished and i had nothing else to say! :p
