im pretty sure the board of studies is not a nazi dictatorship. clealry if the markers can see the connection between the written answers then they will mark it. they're not gonna mark some random piece of writing on a blank page clearly. good luck with 85 lol

the person who came equal first in my school in advanced english writes nine booklets, they said their writin is big cos its rushed and prob more like 8 or 7 books as they finish half way through a booklet for a question but its not impossible, they just practice their writing alot..
Most people in our class write five booklets or six

8 and a half pages for section 1, so 2 booklets.
11-12 pages (i'm not sure) for creative, so 2 booklets.
15 pages for essay, so 2 booklets.

note- my writing is hugeeeee and when i start rushing it can be like 1-2 words a line. soo by the end of my 8 exams i'm going to be so sick of writing my student no. and centre no. on every freaking page!

edit- i wrote 35-36 pages soo it's not impossible..

I dont mean to be rude, but who are you to insult Clever Chick, 34 pages is 5 booklets not even full!! I wrote 26 pages which equated to 5 booklets not close to being full. Go ahead and claim i am lying aswell if you want. But i know people that write over 7 booklets. it is definately not impossible!!

What is your definition of amazing?

i am sure clever chick is an amazing person, and wat kind of person judges a person on their UAI aim? maybe she is just modest!

Apparantly, but I didnt because they can just look at the front.

I did that with my largest booklets, but then afterwards the supervisor told me it wasn't necessary if it was on the front anyway.

So.. who knows. I didn't do it for every page, only a small majority.

haha you guys all make me LOL
why should it matter if you have dones 3 booklets or 3 pages? its all about quality anot quantity. ( i know my mums a hsc english marker) for creative writing I got full marks on 4 pages. I filled 3 booklets and coming first in ad english in my year... and its a selective school.
But seriously the exam is over now... forget about how much you wrote because theres nothing you can do about it now..

These results only relate to the size of your writing and the amount of paragraphs etc...

Cause currently my 3 booklets (not completely full) is pretty crap compared to you all!

Quality, not quantity! :)

I'm pretty sure you don't have to, I heard they only want it done if a page falls out.

I did for most because I had about three minutes to go and I guess I wanted to do something

But some in creative and comprehension writing I didn't

we got told the same thing they said they wont mark it if u dont write on the lined pages...
You best be joking...
