    generally speaking, it's not that hard, just do it in proportion.

    In fact, English paper two is the easier. 3hrs20mins for exams, which 200 minutes. The paper is marked out of 200, so spend one minute per mark.

    IE
    60 minutes for Macbeth
    70 minutes for comparative
    etc.

    For English Paper 2, I tend to just give each section an hour, leaving me 20 minutes for reading and/or finishing off. Perhaps not the most offical breakdown, but it works for me! :)
