@farah.......first of all if there is a demand for 2500-3500 words,then how can you evaluate yourself with the maximum marks of 100 and by writing just 1200.In my opinion,if you are going to write 1200 words,there will be hardly any mistake.with speed comes the errors and your ability to write good english can be measured in a better way.No doubt,checkers always advise for good structure and analytical skills but length does matter.Secondly, i wanna advise all aspirants to focus on english,study the structure of an essay,precis and expansion because just passing the exam is in itself a big achievement.As for as allocation is concerned,only good optional subjects+eds and islamiat can ensure it.For that purpose,make short notes of these subjects and collect material from as many sources as you can.It is possible,some folks have different opinion.
Best of luck
Regards.
