I have approved the post itself to make it visible to all; as a moderator I can also see the attachment which I'll make visible next weekend- this is to give others the chance to post their attempts similarly.
I assume that by "mammoth task" that you meant that producing the CTs took you a very long time; perhaps at the moment as well as writing them out looking at the layout you are also simultaneously refreshing your memory by looking at course notes etc as you slowly work through them - yes this won't be quick but is an effective way to learn.
Overall you gave me pretty reasonable CTs- sometimes when people first give me something I don't know where to start commenting, but it is clear that you have put time and effort into these and I think that I can see the principal areas in which you need help; see attachment.
You are wise to seek feedback before launching into 211 points. First I'd like you to respond to the questions I have posed in the attachment containing my high level feedback and then I'll post your CTs annotated with more specific comments- I believe that others are also attempting them and this will also give them the chance to complete so that we can consider the various attempts together.
Certainly the exam is about speed and it is quite different doing a set of CTs with all the time in the world and when working against the clock. However for now don't worry re how long it is taking, you first need to get used to producing them to a reasonable standard and then gradually increase speed by practicing many different examples.
