Wondering what people are thinking for time management.
At school trial was not same format as HSC due lack course progression...
Anyway, I can write a good essay in 40min. So should that mean I spend more time on the short answer parts? Section 1 takes about 5seconds though :p

I figure:
Section 1: 25min
Section 2: 45min
Section 3 1hr 40min
with 10 min to comfortably double check
Seems Ill have too much time on my hands??

What are everyone's thoughts?

i say spend a bit more time on your weakest area in the exam, whatever that may be.

I usually finish early with legal studies too. Section one is pretty easy and you whiz through it. I think you should be fine with those times.

geez 1hr 5min
could fit in a draft and a final in that time almost :p
I suppose if I were to spend that much time I will need to have a bit more info.

Good to know I was not miscalculating and that it will be more relaxed than say 2hrs for 3 essays....

How many words are people writing then?
My practice essays I do in 40min and get in 1000-1200
Just curious, I realize quality>quantity.
