F4 Finish on time

The main problem in F4 is not about the difficulties of the questions, it is about whether you can finish the questions within 3 hours. 15 minutes reading time are very important to achieve the objective of completing the questions.

What to do in 15 minutes
Look at the time, when it is very near to the start time, prepare to open the question paper and when you hear a sound from the announcer, immediately look at question 8, 9 and 10. Write down points for each of them as much as possible, therefore you should read the case given as well. If you do have time left, start writing points for question 1-7 until you hear a sound from the announcer again, then start writing answer for question 8, 9 and 10 (or questions from 1-7 that had been planned). With your points, this will become an essay writing activity where you just expand the points into sentences.

Another approach will be to focus on planning your answer first, give yourself a maximum of 30 minutes including reading time. A good plan will speed up the work later.

It is good that you practice writing fast, don't stop and think (this can be avoided with a proper plan), you should leave the difficult questions to be done last. The most important thing is you should finish all questions to enhance your chance of passing significantly. Good luck :)
