Time is not an issue on most of the 'general knowledge' exams, as you either know the answer or you don't - one of my group set a new World record by finishing VFR comms in 2 1/2 minutes.
Questions involving calculation or plotting slow you down, but the marks are weighted in favour of these questions, and the time allowed is usually adequate. The only exception seemed to be General Nav, which many people struggled to finish. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but by the time you have finished the groundschool brush-up you'll be doing these exams in your sleep, so you'll be well prepared.
