idk the standards for essay lengths are stupid for english...my hsie subjects recommend 800 in 40 which is reasonable fo 20 marks but english faculty really have the audacity to ask for 1200 in the same time which is insane. My teachers ask for 1200, but hsie is so much easier to write about than english so i really dont know

yeah the standards between my history teacher and english teacher are so different... i agree with you tho, i could get 5 paras in modern so easy but i struggle to get three in eng lmao

3 paragraphs with detailed analysis and 3 quotes is insane. i usually do 2 paragraphs with 2 quotes, idk how ppl are banging out band 6s with 3 paragraphs and 3 quotes while having less time than me

in 40 mins, 1000 is fine, trust me. one guy from my training got a raw 90 and his mod a essay didnt even hit 1000

if my teachers were to read these 20/20 essays, they would be slammed so hard...because when I give detailed explanations on how a quote relates to the topic sentence and thesis and purpose of the text, I'm told to be more specific but when the essays have literally 1 sentence for each quote and 6-7 quotes each for 3 body paragraphs, they get 20/20. Life's not fair

guys is 1100 words in 52 minutes reasonable or am I a really slow writer? I just timed myself doing a T.S. Eliot essay

so 45 minutes should be your goal if you're writing 1100 words...something more feasible would be 1000 in 40-45

If adv eng breakeven is 80 does that mean I have to average 16/20 in all sections to not get negatively effected by scaling. Ion get this whole concept?

honestly i think the whole break even thing is more stress than its worth. just try to get the highest mark you can, everyone gets affected by scaling anyways
