how did you guys devise your time in the exam?? i ran out of time in trials... did not plan ahead. recommendation of spending 35 mins on multiple choice is not a good idea.

For me I always stick to Section I -10 minutes, Section II- 1 hour 20 minutes and Section III- 1 hour 10 minutes, which leaves me with ample time to go over it. But at the 2 hour mark I just cbf and start to get lazy, so I always do multiple choice last.

Do the MP as quick as you can (10 or so minutes), for every other section, do them -5 minutes of the recommended time. At the end, you should have a lot of time left over to check through everything and redo anything you are unsure of

I got MC done in 30 minutes or 25

then you allocate like 1 hour 10 mins for Part II, then 1 hour for Part III

I'm the type of person that writes a lot for each question so I still got 15 mins at the end. I think I'm pretty slow too, I know some people that get the whole thing done in 2 hours

anyways do past papers and work on your time

MC is easy. No more than 20 minutes.
