will 3 and a quarter pages be enough? or do i have to write at least 4?

in the trials i tried writing 4 for all of them but only managed to get 2 pages down for the last module. so i want to write less for each but my question is how low can you go?

1000 - 1100 words each.

I think for creative, probably 950 words max as you'd want to spend more time on the unseen texts

unseen texts is my best section by far. creative writing is always my wurst bcuz i dont have a pre-written story so i hav to write it on the spot.

You should at least come up with 2 to 3 ideas that you are definitely going to use before going into the exam mainly because they give us so little time.

Damn BOS - Forty minutes is so little time especially if they expect us to write an essay/creative of such a high level

Ionno, I just find them harder than others, I suppose I'm just bad at english
hahaha, apparently this year BOS is going to make the examination easyer, as only 6-8 students got band 6 last year

nooriee could have meant 608, and accidentally clicked the - instead of the 0 on their keyboard

I doubt this because last year around 65 people got band 6 at my school
