    Can anyone tell me how long I should be spending per question tomorrow please? Had no clue about time management today, luckily I was grand but could have been risky!

    Thanks

    2 hours 50 (170 minutes)

    20 minutes unseen
    30 prescribed poetry
    55 on single text
    65 on Comparative
    5 minutes reading.

    55 mins on single text
    65 on comparative
    65 on poetry
    Now how many pages are we expected to write.
    3 1/2 for single text
    4 on comparative
    4 on poetry
    Would this be right?

    Usually I would write 4 on single, 5 on comparative and 3.5/4 on poetry.

    I always do the comparative first, as it is the longest for me fein.
