    Just wondering how many questions would you expect your class to answer in a two hour exam? How much would you expect them to write?

    Depends what are you testing them on? I'd give at least two exam type questions eg novel and poetry questions in two hours for higher level.

    They are fifth years so they have time to work on their timing for next year. Were you disappointed ? How did they do on that first question?
