If you manage to write a paper that's 5+ pages in less than three hours and except you're going to get a good grade you need to re-think things.

The papers are only 2 pages long, so 3 hours isn't unreasonable

To answer your original question...you're SOL. You may be able to improve from one paper to the next...but there aren't many options.
This is how it works in Soc Sci and Humanities. Thus the problem with subjectivity, and why on average our marks are lower than other faculties.
