    Out of curiosity, is that due to error corrections on the paper at the start of the exam yeah?

    No, it's an extra 20 minutes for each exam.

    Just for no reason? Will it be the same this year?

    It was brought in a couple of years ago I think. It will be the same.

    Actually it's a lot longer ago than I thought:
