Technique read of test #3 (English Language placement, fiction reading, 40 marks, typed): handed in by her at 32 of 120 minutes, 0 blank of 4, no flags, answered in paper order with no return recorded. Time ran inverse to marks: 9 min on the 4-mark list (guide 5), 16 min on the 8-mark language question (guide 10), 3 min on the 8-mark structure question (guide 10), 2 min on the 20-mark evaluation (guide 20) — 25 of 30 focused minutes on 12 marks, 5 minutes on 28. The 20-marker is one sentence and the structure answer three. Both the paper's instructions (half the marks are on the last question) and the chat opener (go back to the biggest question and add a paragraph before handing in) were general; neither changed the sitting. Marks lost to technique rather than knowledge are mainly on the structure question and the length of the last answer; the evaluation question's content is untaught.
Friday 2 Oct paper (/exam/5): before Start give one countable line, not a general one — the biggest-mark question gets at least 15 minutes on the clock and three quotations before Hand in. Record minutes per question against marks, and whether the sitting passes 45 minutes. Keep watching whether any answer grows after she first finishes.
