    I heard that, as a very rough guide, the amount of marks is the amount of minutes you should spend on it.

    It's not perfect, as I wouldn't go spending 30 minutes on Stair na Gaelige, but you could devote the extra time to the An Triail question or something?

    Somebody will probably come along with a better guide.

    I'm a mark a minute too, but as Timbuk2 said, you won't need 30mins for Stair Na Gaeilge...hopefully :rolleyes: so maybe you could aim for 20 mins for that and give 10 extra minutes to poetry or something. I always find I have loads of time left over after Irish Paper 2!

    Yep, mark a minute is what I go by. Worked for the mocks, and we now have an additional 20 minutes this year :)

    No, we don't. That extra 20 minutes was added on a few years back, it just appears in red on the timetable (as it did last year, and probably the year before).
