english lit - how many paragraphs do i have to write?

Doing AQA English lit exam on Monday Unit 1&2.
Section A i'm guessing = 3 paragrpahs and spend 30 mins
Section B (part a) i'm guessing = 3 paragraphs and spend 20 mins
Section B (part b) i'm guessing = 4/5 paragraphs and spend 40 mins

I know that you don't have to follow a specific guideline on word limits but I just need an idea of how much is required/minimum expected
Last year, I did English Literature Exam. I achieved A. All you need do is, use 4 quotations in each 4 paragraphs depends the mostly important is you need to use Point Evidence Explain. Also a lot of spelling, grammar and punctuation.
