how many pages in a booklet?

I thought it was a pretty hard paper for the "first year will be easy" myth, but i think i did fairly well

Laurrie · 21 Oct 2009, 12:26 PM

Yep. The last part of that question was horrible. ='[

Pretty simple paper, I think I should be fine in all sections. The questions for section II and III were pleasing

I wrote Wrote 8/11/11 pages for each section respectively. I think I can manage 13+/15 for each section. So happy with this exam.

other than the 2 related texts (fuck me dead) and the story being only 2 pages i think it wasnt too bad. the questions weren't a prob

Stratocaster21 · 21 Oct 2009, 12:27 PM

Stimulus: 3.5 pages. Hopefully at least 10/15
Creative Writing: 4 pages - hopefully a 12/15
Essay: 5 pages - Hopefully a 13/15

I'd be stoked with anything above 35/45

What do you mean by 2 related texts? They only asked for one didnt they? Or do you mean from section 1?

Did 2 related texts for section 3.. how many marks deducted is dat =/

You wont get deducted marks. Just accept the first related text.

Xcelz · 21 Oct 2009, 12:31 PM

4-5 / 6 / 7.5 (pages for each question)

i thought the stimulus for the creative response was easily adaptable, the 1st section was good but not amazing and the essay was slightly different to my prepared essay but i could work with it.
