don't read the comprehension u won't have time.

That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! If you don't read the whole passage your style question answer will be terrible, as will any other answer that doesn't specify lines (there are always some). You should read all the questions first and look out for the style question's answers during the first reading. Then answer the questions in the order they come.

As regards what order to do them, I'd say you should do the journalist comprehension 1st, then the literary one, then the Grammar, then the essay, and finally the letter. I find the literary can be quite hard some years and it can throw you off if you do it first. Whatever you do, do not do the written section first.

What i meant to say was don't read over it until u get to the style question - theres usually only one that doesn't specify lines. At this stage u will already have a good knowledge of the text from answering the other lines so reading it should me much faster. Take my tip with a pinch of salt but i got full marks in the comprehension in the mocks.

That makes more sense, but I still think it makes more sense to note what the style question is before you read the passage, then read it through and jot down on an extra bit of paper answers to it as you come across them. Then do the other questions, so by the time you come to the style question you will have read it through once (and picked out answers) and have almost read it through another time. You should easily be able to answer it by that stage without having to do much more than skim through the passage.
