-I too found that in 20 mins I was not getting into the detail that I could have, and couldn't go into the depths I wanted to as I was constantly aware that I had to move onto the next question.
-The 10 mins reading time for 10 questions gives 1 minute to read and understand each question which is quite tight - This meant that I was reading my questions several times in the exam to make sure I fully understood what they were asking for. It also takes about 5 mins to write the page number, module number, candiate number and question number on 15 sheets of A4, which had to come out of our time - I think this should be done after the exam has finished as this is 5 mins lost stright away.
-I would like to see a 1.5hour exam with 3 questions of 30mins each in order to get down all the information which demonstates understanding of the question and knowledge of the subject. I understand that time on the day is very limited - however, in my module 2 exam there were people sitting other modules, so I dont see why there needs to be more than 4 sessions throughout the day with multiple exams being sat in each session.
-Anyway, will have to wait until December to see how I got on!
