[QUOTE=Anum Zara;1057988]It was indeed a lengthy paper. I have barely managed to finish it. Writing and presentation skills were compromised in last few questions. I only got 20 minutes to attempt precis. Paragraph was easy but I am not happy with the title I have given. I wrote it when invigilating staff started snatching papers. It was due to comprehension and narration passage. They took most of my time. Last year, I came out after 2 hours. That paper was not lengthy.[/QUOTE]

Same problem here. I attempted comprehension before precis and then ran out of time. Comprehension was opinion based. :laugh:

Does writing and presentation skills matter ? Because i have scribbled so much in last few questions because of short time. Even I did cut some words and added a few by putting ^ in between lines.
Am I in hot water ?

Never have I ever attempted English paper this poorly before. I couldn't manage time and many of my MCQs were wrong. I don't think that I will survive this paper lol.

[QUOTE=MGaz;1057991]It was lengthy, wasn't it? Kudos to you for managing to finish it on time :-) How much did you score in this subject last year?
And do you think it would be difficult for me to pass this subject because of this blunder, even if the rest of my paper went good, if not great?[/QUOTE]
Last year, I scored 41. Hope for the best. I cannot guarantee that you will pass because this is the only paper which can give unexpected result. Even I am not sure that I will pass. I too have a lot of mistakes.

Yes, writing and presentation skills does matter and in all subjects. My writing was not that bad even at the end but due to shortage of time I was unable to work on paper presentation. Cutting and adding between lines make bad impression and examiners do not like that but chill at least they are better than mistakes. I try to keep my paper as neat and as flawless as I can. I usually use a lot of markers for presentation but due to shortage of time, today I remain unsuccessful in doing so.

The same happened to me, i also could not attempt the question related to pair of words and idioms... Nd the indirect passage was also left unattempted.
Paper was easy but it was designed in such a way as to consume more time of candidates. Lets see what happen.

Plz share the title of precis so that we may get a general idea regarding the correct title.
