Atleast other people didn't finish i dont feel as worried.
I think i did pretty good in section 1.
Section 3 i could have done better.
Had about 20 minutes to do section 2.


Some people left early too.
Don't really see the point, even if you did finish early its only 2 hours.
Should just stay, more ideas could come into mind and therefor more things to write about.

My teacher drilled it into my head to do my essay first (50 minutes), creative second (30 minutes) and reading task last. I chose not to listen and did it all in order. It worked. Less stressful and you build up the momentum and your writing pace as you go along because as the questions get 'harder'.

I jumped around a lot. This is my order:
- 2 parts of section I
- 3 paragraphs of section III
- section II
- 2 more paragraphs of section III
- Finished section I
- Did as much as I could on section II with the time I had left.

Whenever I hit a wall and seemed to be slowing down, I moved onto a different section. And also, I decided I had to leave the end of section III until last because an unfinished essay gets more marks than an unfinished story/short answer question.
And I did have to leave out more than a whole paragraph of good information in the essay.
