Edexcel further maths paper 3 duration

The spec says it’s 1.5 hours per paper. I’ll have to write both of my FM options on the same day right? So will I be in the exam hall for 3 hours? Or do they expect to write both the option papers in 1.5 hours??? Is that even feasible?

Each exam is 90 mins, but what option exams are you taking? The 3A-3D options are all on different days (paper 1). The 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D options are all in the same slot but you should only be taking a maximum of one of them?
