I'm just an English nerd. I have super big handwriting. I think I got about 3600ish words, that's how big I write lol.

And yeah, I agree with the other comments, writing a lot of pages doesn't mean your going to get good marks, at the end of the day it's quality, not quantity. However, if you can manage both, it's only to your advantage.

No one from those type of schools will write that many pages. It's about quality, not quantity. Trust me, I know. And our Trials haven't even started yet.
True of course =.= quality>quantity always.....

But come on 57 pages is shocking lol.... wow

Ive been told I have big writing and I wrote 17 overall..
Me too, and I only wrote like 16 pages.
I did the paper: Module B, C, A.
Wrote roughly 5.2, 5.2, 5.5 pages respectively.
I loved putting people off by asking for extra booklets every few minutes and when sir came over and I said "Can I have three sir?" and I think a few kids around me started writing faster.
I guess I'm a bit disappointed because I could've written heaps more. I took like 10 minutes at the start to go through and dissemble each question and then had 5 minutes left over to fix stuff up at the end.
Although, I don't think I did really good I'll probably end up getting:
16 + 18 + 14 for mod A, B and C.

Ok so in summary. What were the questions on paper 2?
Distinctively Visual
Something like "Images are created for many different purposes. How do these images affect YOU in the Prescribed + at least 1 related text"
Into the World
Something like "New experiences make growth or some shit. How is this explored in prescribed + at least 1 related text"
Owen
something about his ideas being expressed in the poetry to create an appreciation of the body of work.

module a = individuals struggle (8page)
module b = how does change reflect your understanding (3page)
module c =history and memory as a integral part to representation (6page)
