Started with section 1- finished in 40 mins (a little bit longer than anticipated)
then- section 3- finished in 50 mins
last- section 2- only 30 mins left... and it's my weakest section- I think I wrote about 4 or 5 pages but I didn't finish it...

lol. We had time afterwards. Our exam was like chaotic. The wrong writing booklets were handed out and so they had to be recollected, people were late I think.

I can never do my exams out of order :rolleyes:, too risky to try now I think.

Ditto.

I ran out of time because there was a mix up with the finishing time which led me to believe I had 15 more minutes than I actually did.. which sucked. I left Section 2 to last, so I suffered in that department.

I attempted to stay within the 40min guidelines with relative sucess 40mins sec 1, roughly 35 for sec 2 and 45 or so for section 3. I managed to just finish and roundoff everything, however with that said I could have basically written a substantial ammount more in both section 2 and 3 (missed out an additional stimulus and related text that was in my intro which looks lame xD)
