i would have a good read over everything in ur reading time. i think you should use that advantage and have a think about those big 8/6 marker essay questions. read each question quickly, but carefully and allow them to sink in so you can pinpoint what to write. MCQ i would probably do first so that my brain gets a warm up. the ones i cant do i'll come back later to do because something else in the exam might spark me and idea or something.

i did the option first , followed by MCQ n then the short answer responses.....
it depends on wat u think u r best prepared at and which section u can handle with confidence....

* whichever section u start with , be sure u complete the entire paper*

goodluck!

I did the obvious multiple choice answers first, all of the obvious Section II answers, then all of the obvious Section III answers. I then went back and, in order, figured out the harder answers.

Don't forget to underline, circle,or make good note of key words in questions.

i did the exam straight - mcq, part a, part b and then the option

just me...
and for the reading time, i did the multiple choice questions - keeping in mind what the answers r..

i didnt read all the other questions coz yeah - i would end up thinkiing bout the answers to the other questions whilst doing other sections... its too distracting - for me anyway

anyway, best of luck all!

Yeah i did what tooheyz did...went thru the paper straight and circled Qs which i wasnt sure of, and got back to them at the end.
During the reading time, i jus tentatively flipped from page to page, praying that there wasnt any random/extremely hard Qs
And make sure u pace urself...u definately dont want to run out of time. And last yrs paper was actually quite long, so dont always rely on the fact that u can go back and check ur answers. Put in ur best effort for each Q, and then move on and keep track of time!

[AK Gumbi]

It was in November...Nov4 if i remember correctly.

In reading time, I scanned the top mark questions... so I could get a basic idea of what I should address... the rest of the reading time was spent marking MC answers with my nail... I basically answered all of it during reading time! I did the rest of the test in order.
