I wouldn't be sweating to much, Mumma. You can't let numbers scare you in English... it's NOT a numbers game. It's ALWAYS quality over quantity. I think what you have to keep in mind in is, and the Exemplar Sample 1 for Transformations from last years Standards Package is *THE* best example of this, that people's writing varies in shape and size. Whoever wrote that "exemplar" essay had HUGE freaking writing... we're talking.. FOUR WORDS on a line. I do 7-8 words. There's a difference....

Also, who's to say that the amount of pages you end up churning out isn't loaded with BS anyway? Quantity might sound great, but it's got to be filled with some sort of quality to have substance....

:uhhuh:

BNW/BR: 6
Speeches: 5
Birthday Letters: 5.5

I was pretty happy with that because I normally only manage to get about 3 pages, and my writing's fairly narrow so I can fit a fair bit to each line.
