  leave 40mins for summary.
  
  dun leave the last few 10/20 mins for summary.
  
  for qtns...needs training one...+ skills
  use ur own words -> find the sentence, change keywords...
  for others, juz copy straight from passage.
  
  by right, questions are supposed to guide you in summary...so still must do qtnts then summary.

  I draw lines last time so that each line write 5 words
  
  Then I write inside. Very easy to count number of words. From there u do your cancellations and changes so that it is within the word limit. Then if got time, rewrite everything nicely. If no time, just submit it

  O level you did the same or what...?
  
  =/ mid year i did this and some teacher came up to me..."Is this your draft? You have to write it in a paragraph."
  
  from that time onwards, i never use that thingy liao.

  please oso note that summary is important...dun juz concentrate on questions...
  
  Summary - 25m too.
  
  15m - content
  10m - language...
  
  if you chiong, you can get full marks for content.
