I did two PS, 1 stim, and 1 related. I didn't have time to cover my second related but I figured that I only really needed one in depth one so yeah. My essay went for 9 pages...only I don't think i linked the texts back to the question too well. And my conclusion was the shithouse. Oh well...

I did exactly 9 for Q5. I only ended up doing one related because of time and depth, I think the response was better for it as well. Here's hoping that I'm not hallucinating and that I did fine. I did 6 full for Q2, but had like, half a sentence to write in order to fully conclude it, grr. Oh well, I'm free of journey now!

ok...

wow...I think i wrote somewhere between 4-6 pages? I had one booklet text, one prescribed and one related before i went outta time to do my other booklet and related texts...

btw, how many pages are there in a booklet? About 10?

*edit* thanks to the people who answered the question -
8 pages per booklet

that's about right, making me did about half the booklet, my guess is about right. Thanks pplz~!

Yeah I wrote about 6.5 for the essay. About 6 for the story, and about 6 again for the Reading Task. At least they're all in proportion. I'm fairly confident with my story, ok with section 1 but bit iffy as to how I'll fair on the essay. :rolleyes:

10 pages here.

I must admit i'm a little disappointed, I don't think I executed an answer as well as I had prepared for. I just hope the quality of my essay in terms of vocabulary and analysis content pulls me through.

To paper 2 we go
Same! And I feel exactly the same about the essay - hopefully it'll do the job.

Edit: There's 8 pages in a booklet

yeh i wrote 9 pages, that's coz wen i was sitting there doing my usual stop and look around at what everyone else is up to, i noticed this girl who was just zooma zooma writing, so, it gave me some boost and i ended up writing about 3 pages in the space of about 2 secs (this is an exaggeration).
so glad that is the end of journeys.. ahah ill open YOUR mind!
