BASIC RULES AND GUIDELINES FOR THE EXAM

FIRST - GENERAL RULES

If you obey all of these basic rules, you should be OK.

1. Stick to timings! I Have told you many times how long you should be spending on each question. Do NOT go over you time.

Section A

Reading Time - 15 mins


Question 1 - 12 mins

Question 2 - 12 mins

Question 3 - 18 mins

Question 4 - 18 mins


Section B

Question 5 - 24 mins

Question 6 - 36 mins


2. Take a highlighter (preferably more than one colour) and highlight anything interesting in any of the texts that you see. So, if you see any similes, metaphors, etc ...or even just big words, you have got them marked out on your sheet for later.

3. Always write in PEE for the SECTION A (Except for the first question - 1a) PEE paragraphs are what get you top marks. You MUST include EVIDENCE from the text in each paragraph.  If you don't you're wasting your time.
