English Paper 2 Time Management

Mau5

Can anyone tell me how long I should be spending per question tomorrow please? Had no clue about time management today, luckily I was grand but could have been risky!

Thanks

Ashashi

2 hours 50 (170 minutes)

20 minutes unseen
30 prescribed poetry
55 on single text
65 on Comparative
5 minutes reading.

55 mins on single text
65 on comparative
65 on poetry
Now how many pages are we expected to write.
3 1/2 for single text
4 on comparative
4 on poetry
Would this be right?

Cheers, Prescribed poetry usually takes me the longest though! might change it around a bit

Usually I would write 4 on single, 5 on comparative and 3.5/4 on poetry.

I always do the comparative first, as it is the longest for me fein.
