Didn't you say that your creative was 1000+ words, how is that not long enough?

That's plenty, unless you're a naturally fast + legible writer and can churn out 1200+ words in 40 mins or under. In which case you're not like the rest of us and should aim for more.

Dude, wow, I'm impressed Gj you (Keep up the awesome handwriting work haha)

If you can write more, then obviously try and write more, so it sets you apart from, well, everyone else lol. However, if you feel you're not so confident in your essay structure or analysis, I would work on that rather than simply seek to extend word count. I know some people will disagree and say that quantity is quality in itself, but as impressive as a 14 page essay is, if you don't address the question, have a logical structure etc, you're still not going to get a good mark.

Best of luck for your trials!

Lol it took me 45 mins to do the essay, and I completed the whole booklet (which I believe was 7 pages long), and did my short story in 5.5 pages in 30 mins. Im worried about paper 2 tomorrow because of my writing speed Im hoping that the questions will be specific enough so that I wont have to spend 40-45 mins writing out my generic and running out of time for my third essay.

u don't know dat until u get ur results back

as long as you answer the question with outstanding insight, it should be okay c

Well the discovery question was quite open-ended and so I was able to write my entire generic (which is around 1100 words), and my essays for paper 2 are around that length as well
