I run out of time when writing Task 2 essays. What can I do?
First, you should only write under exam conditions if you can get the score you need when you write slowly. (Remember: the score is your goal, not 40 mins!)
If you can get the score you need but you can't finish your essay in 40 minutes, try following Chris' time management strategy. This if from the Writing Academy Course Module 4:
Using the planning templates will help you stick to this timing plan.
If it is taking you longer than 10 minutes to plan, then here are some things that can help you generate and develop your ideas faster:
1) Complete the Critical Thinking course*
2) Watch the Task 2 Live Cambridge Practice Lessons
The most questions you see and the more practice you do, the easier it will become and you faster you will get.
