Hi Dorothy
I've had a look at your answers - it's very difficult from a small laptop screen in India, compared to spreading the paper out. However, I've cheated and found a model answer I created a year or two ago, which you can compare with. It uses the PJW control table template rather than IRSE style, but the content is very similar. There are undoubtedly some errors in my answer which you will find! - also I notice I included point detection in the overlap at the time.
I'm struggling to make a detailed comparison, but It does appear that you have captured a good amount of the required controls, so doing well technically.
There will always be a challenge on time - you have tackled a good proportion in the time, and ensured that you did at least one point table before running out. Given the format at the time, you would may be have done better to tackle other routes from different signals instead of doing more classes of route from the same signal - these could have been saved for injury time at the end. However, you're less likely to get this situation in future years.
Also, good set of assumptions, showing you're up to date.
Overall, I think this would do well in the exam, no worries about a failure here.
