A2 LIT- How long to spend on each section?For Literature, how long are you planning to spend on the unseen and then the paired texts?
Section A is worth 40 marks whilst Section B is worth 60 marks.
Would it be sensible to split my time:
1 hour 15minutes for A
1 hour 30minutes for B ?
As you only have 2 hours 45 minutes to do the paper -

Re: A2 LIT- How long to spend on each section?165 minutes, 100 marks.
165/100 = 1.65 minutes a mark, so:
40*1.65 = 66
60*1.65 = 99
So roughly 1 hour 5 minutes for A and 1 hour 40 minutes for B.
(I really hope that's right or I'll look stupid)
