    Take BEC Thurs morning – a half-hour should be perfectly sufficient for WC, correct? Since it’s only worth 15% right?

    Um, yeah, sure, you go with that! Good Luck! It's actually worth 15% – 20%. Do you really want to chance that yours are worth 20% and you did all 3 in 30 minutes?

    Kricket – Just wondering how WC can be worth 20%. I thought the split was always 85/15?

    Agree though that 30 mins is not likely enough.

    @mini – I stand corrected it is actually 10% -20%. Please direct your attention to page 35.

    So the sims for the other sections can be worth as much as 50%? This is the first I have seen or heard of this. I'll read this is more detail another time. Interesting stuff.

    My plan was to leave an hour for the WC. I ended up having an hour and 10 minutes for them. I knew 2 of the 3 topics and went to work and then the third one I had to guess. The last one didn't take me that much longer than the other 2, maybe an extra 3 minutes. Just because you know the topics doesn't mean it will only take you a few minutes to write it down. You have to take time to figure out what they are asking for, then you have to figure out your points that you need to make, and then you have to figure out how to write it. I finished with 1 minute left. I am not saying you could not do it in 30 minutes, but it seemed to take longer than I expected. Good Luck..
