Exam Preparation Worksheet: Time per Question

Exam preparation lesson 19: Time per question · Set 71 · 40 questions

Study tip (Minutes follow marks): Minutes per mark = writing minutes ÷ total marks. Time for a question = marks × minutes per mark; for several questions, add the marks first. Writing time = exam minutes − reading minutes − checking minutes. Keep an eye on the clock and save a few minutes to check.
