Am I the only one?

Am I the only one who finds it difficult to manage time efficiently in O level Business studies? I mean 1 hour 45 min for Paper 1 is OK, but the same time for Paper 2 is just unfair in my opinion because you have to write A LOT to the point where your fingers start aching.
The examiners should give at least 2 hours because we have to write long essays and its not like maths and sciences where you just calculate. Your answers have to be logical and that needs thinking which needs sufficient time. I really think CIE should extend the time for Business Studies exam to 2 hours 15min or at least 2 hours.

Well it's not like that. They have designed the time very carefully. You or others might find it very hard to manage time, but that's what you have to do : improve your speed. Start managing your time with a time piece in front of you.

I have done Business Studies O levels last June and I think you should manage your time efficiently. I agree that we must write a lot of things in the Business Studies paper 2. Even my own experience, I didn't finish paper 2 on time.. so I came on a solution to just write the main points of the answers for the last question.. Well, it's not a very good one.. but if you can manage your time efficiently and you have been practicing with the past papers, you can do it

If you can't manage the time properly it is either because u r writing too much or having trouble deciding what to include and what not to include.

Business studies answers need to be highly specific, and trust me the time is enough.
