Hey guys,
What’s the best way to be time efficient during the exams, esp e2?
What should I do during reading time and should I go to section B first or do the MCQ first?
How can I finish the exams with time to spare

Thanks

Doesn't matter which order you do - both methods have been successful for many people in the past.
I thought MCQs first was nice because you could comfortably get 20 marks on the board within 15-20 minutes and put the majority of the time into extended response.
Conversely, if you go with the extended response stuff and run out of time you can just guess the MCQs and still have a chance of a few marks (you can't do this for the extended response stuff effectively.

A pre-requisite to finish early is to know all the content theoretically so i'll assume you do - then the best way would be to use reading time to start brainstorming strategies to use and as long as you keep writing and don't stop for length periods of time to "think" and can answer questions straight after reading you should be fine.
