How long should I spend on question 1 in Paper P2 as it is for 50 marks and is such an important part of the paper?
Students often feel that they should spend a disproportionate amount of time on question 1 but it is not a good strategy.Question 1 is quite a difficult test for students and therefore ,mistakes are quite common.Students often compound their mistakes and so spending more time producing an inacurate answer is not a good strategy. Students should spend half of the time allocation only on the question.
