Question is in the title – also, did you feel like the time you had left was enough to complete the 3 written sections sufficiently?

BEC - 83
AUD - 77

I think I left myself one hour maybe an hour and fifteen minutes. I do remember going to the last minute on the written portion for BEC. I don't think my topics were especially difficult, but it took some time to organize my thoughts for the scenario that they laid out in the question. Hope that helps!

Best of luck…

Becker suggests about 15 minutes per question. I practiced a few for structure and timing purposes and found this to work pretty good for me. During the actual exam I had about an hour left and that was the right amount of time. I wasn't too rushed and was able to write solid responses. I did go back and forth a lot. I read all three and then started one and moved on to the others before going back to polish each one. I think this helped me stay calm and not panic about time…

Remember that clear and concise answers beat long wordy ones any day…

GOOD LUCK!

When i think 15 mins per question is good. I got lucky cause I left 20 minutes for 3 essays and scored a stronger on my score card. Fortunately, all 3 of them were on topics that I knew like the back of my hand (topics that were on the other exams).

I had just under an hour. I started the last one with 9 minutes to go and finished with 5 seconds left. I knew the first two topics, but they required longer answers than I'd expected. The last one used such generic terms, I wasn't clear on what it was asking. I made my best guess and wrote a short paragraph for each point. I scored stronger on WC (for what that's worth). I would have felt a lot more comfortable if I'd had another 10-15 minutes.

FAR 4/1/11 - 89
