How can you physically write enough to fill four booklets in 40 mins??? Do you use 4 words a line or are you just trained to write incredibly fast?

I can't remember how much I wrote I think it was like 6/6/6 which I wasn't happy with. I was expecting to at least fill and possibly even get into a second for the essay but I just couldn't write fast enough...

I'm guessing 4 words per line and uber-fast writing. For the rescord, i wrote about 7 pages each section.

yea i completely agree with pantha princess. there is no way you could have done 3 booklets for eact section and be on the fourth in the last section. two hours is not enough to write that much. and how did u manage to get three booklets on the first question??? u must have waffled big time

Section 1--5 pages? (didn't count properly)
Section 2--6 pages
Section 3--9 pages (so a booklet and a page)

I did Section 3 first, because I spent most of my reading time (once I had read everything else) trying to work out a thesis for my essay, and I didn't want to break the concentration span once writing time started. Section 3 took the longest--50 minutes, Section 1 was next with 30 minutes (wooh hoo!--though I found it tricky, actually), and then Section 2 with 40 minutes left.

P.S. did anyone find q2 too broad? I spent 5 minutes picking my stimulus!

i think the most humanly possible you could have written is a full 5-6 six booklets. the person who reckons they wrote ten probably write three words a line or something.

what do you mean, 'picking your stimulus'?, just write a story.

Im talking about question 1 part a where it asked us to explain the connection between the title and the book cover. I didnt see a connection, like for sure they were on the same topic, but like yeh.. I made up some crap like that he needs his 'mind wide open' so that he's not biased wjen researching why he thinks that way, hence why the cartoon guy was standing on a model of a brain with the different sections that influence our thinking, ie spirituality..

Crummy answer, but only one mark so who cares :D:D:D

Who ever thought that they wrote 3 BOOKLETS in each and then moved onto a fourth is absolutely wanking

there is no way in the world that you can write, what more than 72 pages?!!!!
You would have to have the biggest, dumest looking writing on earth to be able to do that. i filled a booklet for question three and it would have been about 1300 words which is quite alot - it is stupid to talk about pages when everybody has different handwriting. of course i knw how much i wrote b/c i pre prepared an essay and then added some more but other might not know that os fare enough

but 10 BOOKLETS all up - what a croc of shit!

what971, you know the board of pictures, and you had to write a story based on one of those five-six pictures? I had to think which one suited my prepared story best, and incorporate the line in (btw, I used the hardest bit of a juorney was the first step)

Jebbie- oh, you mean the title and an image... you were meant to show how one of the images connectes to the title... ie. the hand pointing to the brain, showing how he was researching his mind and all that (not what i answered)

I don't think I'll do too well seeing the number of pages everyone else wrote for the exam:

Section 1: 2 Pages
Section 2: 1 1/2 Pages
Section 3: 2 Pages
