isnt their a certain amount on boared of studies that you should be writing like words an hour?
i've read somehwere on board of studies site that 6-8 pages of the hsc writing booklets is sufficient for a strong, high-range response.

in saying that.. even if u wrote 3498045025 pages... doesn't mean it will be high-range.

i totally agree.
i used only 3 booklets.
and wrote this much:

section 1: 6 pages
section 2: 6 pages
section 3: 8 pages

and i felt quote confident with the answers.. they addressed the questions well..., and dont see why they can't score me as much marks as someone who wrote like 23934634806346 pages. lol
exactly as much as you :)

I used 9 pages for essay - 6 Pages for Story & Not sure for the unseen.

My writing is massive though, so its prob like.. 5/6 pages for essay and like 4 for my creative..

Quality not quantity.

Overall: Great and straight-forward paper.

I'm so scared for paper two : EMMA. FRONTLINE. KING LEAR.

Wow.

It's just the lack of time!!! :| I can't write fast...

:(

Most people who can write a lot write pretty good quality stuff as well
don't get me wrong.. im sure many of those lengthy responses are 15/15. but what im saying is that writing a long response doesnt guarantee u good marks. and in saying that... even a 6 page response could score 14-15 if it was good and fulfilled all criteria of a 14-15/15 response.

i dont think that 12-13 pages is a short story.
haha well not in my opinion anyway.

i don't really see why anyone would be annoyed with people writing more pages than them...if you are happy with what you wrote what does it matter what someone else did?
it depends on memorised or spontaneous, writing size, different writing speeds...and the whole 'quality over quantity' thing. some people are quick writers thus can write plenty, other people would never dream of getting past 1 booklet.
who cares hey, whatever works for you personally.
just do the best you can; there's no need to compare yourselves.

I physically cannot ever write more than 6 pages in a response. I just cant write that fast lol, i need to think. Though I do usually get 90 to full marks so its shows that quality is whats important. I do get annoyed by the people around me writing like 3 booklets for one essay haha.. wish I could do that
