This tells me two things,
1. You have written absolute garbage, quantity not quality. How the hell can you write a band 5/6 essay that completely adresses all aspects of teh question in the given time frame.

2. You have extremely large writing and/or fat fingers




I think if BOS would have wanted you to write more in the first place, the examiners would have provided extra booklets initially.

If i were an english marker, 9pm on a friday evening well then its good night sally horn if you think they'll be bothered reading through it all...

my response for bnw/br was from a memorised response which is 1200 words long. how do i know its good? well i got my teacher to read it a few times, and she said it was quality. im also top 5 in my school.

i dont have tickets on myself, i just disagree that u cant write more than 8 pages of quality.

my response was 13 pages - not as extreme as some (ive heard 16... and 20 :O!)

if u dont believe me, pm me and ill email it to u.

to those ppl who wrote in extra booklet, well done, good luck. some ppl can just write faster than others, be it natural talent or pracitce. i've never finished a booklet in ant exam, but i still get the marks. quality not quantitiy, but i still wish i could write more. :)

some ppl just have small writing
i do average 12 words a line in those booklets
wheras some ppl do 4
so that means if i write 8 pages, the equivlent for them should be 24 pages...

Thing is with planned responses, you have to be sure that your answering the question. Sure you have your pre-planned ideas and certain paragraphs which can be adapted to any question but if you've just written out a whole pre planned essay how can you be so sure?



ay_caramba: I wrote a good 6/7 pages for each essay - it was quality, it probably wont get me a band 6 but it will go ok, i just get frustrated when i see people asking for more exam booklets - uneccessary.

I think writing copious amounts of info when you probs don't need to just hurts your wrist!!!

My writing is midget, about 15 words a line on average... but i did 21 pages all up for the 3 questions.
My wrist was having its own epileptic fit :eek:

i understand what ur saying abt quality over quantity, but that doesn't necessarily mean that ppl who wrote long essays didnt write quality ones..
i just don't see the point in putting ppl down like that

I WILLINGLY admit that I'm jealous of those people who ask for more booklets.

I'm asking for a booklet for english extension one... WHATEVER IT TAKES

I WILL DRAW PICTURES IF I HAVE TO!!!

lol... nah people who do 8 pages, good for them. I've written a full booklet but didn't need more... so I'll get there... Plus I write about... 7/8 words per line, so I'm pretty medium...

Good luck everyone!!

Oh really? Nothing about writing at least 1200 words in the syllabus??
Does that $50 an hour cover them doing a word count of every single essay?

Sit down fool.
