E Maths / A Maths: Maximum time per question
Paper 1: 2 hours (120 min) — 80 marks
Max. Time taken per mark: 1.5 min per mark
Paper 2: 2 hours 30 minutes (150 min) — 100 marks
Max. Time taken per mark: 1.5 min per mark
In O Levels Maths, speed and accuracy is very important indeed!

Just to reblog an old post on how much time to take per mark per question for ‘O’ level or IP Math. The above guideline applies for both E Math and A Math, Paper 1 and Paper 2.
The basic guideline is 1.5 min per mark.
So for a 2 mark question, the time taken should be 1.5×2=3 min.
For a 5 mark question, the time taken should be 1.5×5=7.5min.
This is the slowest speed allowed in order to finish the entire paper (there is no time to check). Hence, if one wishes to have some time for checking, it is recommended to do questions at a faster speed of around 1.2 or 1.3 min per mark.
