1. Timing
OCR say:
10 marks = 15 minutes
15 marks = 25 minutes (x2)
30 marks = 45 minutes
So, this paper is 100 minutes writing time, but you have 120 minutes!
If you want to be accurate, you can spend 1.7 minutes on each mark, so actually:
10 marks = 17 minutes
15 marks = 25 minutes (x2)
30 marks = 50 minutes
This totals 117 minutes.
