@farrah...well dear it would sound like self-praise but as i happen to be a writer and have a masters in english literature as well so my writing speed is immensely high-i write a page in 3-5 minutes.so i managed it by the grace of ALLAH n lemme share sth,in my paper-1 i wrote an essay of abt 22 pages n th marks were 20-hehehe...so i dnt knw hw are they gonna grade me but my handwriting is VERY small and i never draw margin lines(prayrs are needed)...and yes...as far as headings are concerned they do give a fine touch in an answer- do use th quotations by a few critics wen answering the poet's section in paper-2,give headings like:WAZEER AGHA KI LAIQ-E-TEHREER RAAEY:....saleem akhtar k khayal haaey roshan....wagara wagara...headings are always used in the papers of masters in urdu so if thee use them it'l be beneficial....
hope my humble advice would be of some help...
