Man seriously, I agree with royaaran, I was feeling, holy shit I wrote 18 pages all together! That's pretty good...then I look at this thread and err..25 and 24 pages pages?!! How could anyone write 25 pages in just 2 hours??!! I wrote 18 pages just in time and my hand was hurting so much.

Anyway I wrote around 950-1000 words for both SECTION II and SECTION III
Section 1 - Only 3 pages. Probably will get around 7-8/15
Section 2 - 8 pages. I hope to get around 12/15
Section 3 - 7 pages. hmm...13? I certainly bloody well hope so... if not...I hope around 11 at least.

i filled a booklet for creative, one booklet plus two pages for the essay and for the reading i started a new page for each question so maybe 3/4 of a booklet
pretty happy hoping for more than 40/45

Can i ask you guys something? Is AOS worth 60% of the whole English mark and the module worth 40%? Or is it the other way around?

Section 1: 6 pages
Section 2: 8 pages
Section 3: 14 pages

I'm pretty sure I did ok in sections 1 and 2, but I don't think my thesis related too well to the question for section 3 so I dunno :(

overall im looking for a low-mid band 6 in eng.

booo to special provisions people who wrote over 4000 words. Being retarded shouldnt give u an advantage over other people.
I agree, if your typing 2000+ words in 40 minutes your obviously not intellectually disadvantaged and AT THE MOST should have a writer wrting your essay for you. A guy at my school deliberatly typed really slow in the typing test for special provisions, and as a result he actually got 20 more minutes to do the exam in!

Anywho I wrote (averaging 5 - 6 words a line).

Section I: Not entirely sure I'd image between 6-7.
Section II: 12 pages
Section III: 13 1/2 pages.

Total = 31 pages roughly.

I'm expecting a few marks off in section one probley 12-13/15
A mark or two off in section two for not emaphasing enough a journey of discovery, so 13-14/15.
And in section three probley a mark off just because it won't be as good as the freaks out their who get the 15s, So 14/15.
So at the best 42/45

After, today I actually wished for english you got your individual section marks back on your HSC so you could see how you went in each section/module.

Section 3 – 16 pages 12-13/15

hey guys i obviously don't know all of you personally. but i wouldn't be asking so much how much everyone wrote as it is what everyone actually wrote that gains marks.

It is not a writing comp based on length but rather on creativity and ability to answer a given question. So for those of you who did not write a novel in this paper and for those of you who did. It is really not a comparison that you should make or be worried about....

Overall I wrote 34 pages some of it was really good I felt, but I went a bit over time on the creative writing so was a bit flusted for the essay, which i had trouble working with the question but oh well just wrote what I could remember...trial section 3 was MUCH better. But I loved my story. Can't do anything now though!

Have no idea about marks as I may have misinterpreted question, as would be my luck. I have either done really well or really badly!!!!
