💡 Key Idea
The 8-Part Paper and Your 8-Answer Rule
Eight parts, eight answers — choose smart.
Paper II has 8 Parts. You must answer exactly 8 questions: 2 from Part I, 2 from Part II, and 4 from any four of Parts III–VIII (one from each chosen part).
↳ 2+2+4 = 8 answers = 100 marks. Break the rule and you lose marks.
⭐ Important Fact
Three Hours, 100 Marks — The Clock Is Your Enemy
180 minutes for 8 answers.
You have 3 hours (180 minutes) for 100 marks. That is roughly 1.8 minutes per mark — but 15-mark questions need more thinking time than 10-mark ones.
↳ Time-box each answer; never let one question eat another's minutes.
🎯 Exam Tip
Markers Reward Four Things — Give Them All
Analytical, evaluative, concise, clear.
The paper explicitly states that marking considers Analytical Approach, Sound Evaluation, Conciseness, and Clarity. You are also required to give reasons for your answers.
↳ Every answer should analyse, evaluate, stay concise, and stay clear — with reasons.
