Exam time allocation and tips? (1 Viewer)

[Espy25]

The times allocated for each section displayed on the booklet is kind of iffy, lol 35mins each essays?

So yea what's your plans of attack? And maybe throw in some tips on reading time and short answers or mc?

Mine is basically:
20 min MC (circle ones that unsure of)
30 min Short Answers (circle ones that are unsure of)
50 min Essay 1
50 min Essay 2
30 min Answer rest of MC and short answers; also spam answer/chuck as much info on each short answer as possible.

20 mins on MC is too long, 30 mins on short answer is too short imo

I would cut down on the MC time and increase the time for short answers like deswa1 said, and probably leave a lot more time for essays because I need to set aside time for planning - no plans mean my essays become even worse than they already are, haha.

For me, after reading time I immediately jump into planning and chuck down all the statistics in my head related to the extended and then go back, because personally my extended responses are by far the weakest in comparison to the other two sections. I'd also pencil in stats for short answers before I started going through the test properly.
