Examination technique
Time management is very important in the examination. For guidance, the average time available is:
Reading the examination instructions – five minutes
Section one – twenty-five minutes
Section two – thirty minutes
Section three – forty-five minutes
Section four – forty-five minutes
Total time available – two hours thirty minutes (150 minutes)
Allow enough time to read each question properly. Make sure you understand what is being asked for before starting to write your answer.
Where appropriate, the action verb that indicates the depth of answer required by the question – explain, list, describe etc. – is printed in bold. You should ensure you understand the meaning of these terms (see below). Full marks will not be awarded for a list if an explanation is required. Conversely, it is a waste of time to provide a detailed explanation if the question asks for a list.
