        Doing my first few mocks. Scoring around 50-60%, which is ok given there’s still time to practice, but I’m taking A REALLY LONG TIME. Like 4-5 hours long to finish one paper.

        Is this normal at the start? Any tips or hacks or obvious things I’m missing to speed up?

          Best way is to time yourself per question. If you’re in L1 that’s 90 seconds per question, then you can allocate how much time you should be using for reading the question, calculation, checking, answering, and possibly rechecking.
