i did 4 pages typed for the report
I did 5 pages typed for the extended response
Lucky you- you get to type =P

Btw I am actually disabled in my right (writing) arm so I am elegible for it, but then because of the nature of my school, I know that if I was permitted to "type" my answers then I most definitely would've been "frowned upon" if I went well.

erm. i only wrote 4 pages for each. i think. do you reckon thats ok? it was good stuff i thought

I don't think 4 on each is good enough no offence,
People told me if you want to score well you need 8 pages + per report.
This is from a hsc marker.
maby if its rteal good 4 pages in small writing you may be ok.

i think not. perhaps thats only if you dont finish because i hardly think that if you were going to get 18/20 or something they would go " well they did have a PLAN so better make that 20"

So did I. I only did 6 pages for the report and 4 and a 1/2 for the essay. Just couldn't write a lot, 'cause I'm always a victim of time. This was my last chance to defeat time... and I did... but it's not maximal. Anyway, the good thing is we're all done.

You guys are retards. Yeah, I'm sure you wrote over 16 pages per section. Ok I totally believe you. What did you do, draw one page diagrams and had a front cover drawn or something. Stop fucking lying.

Do you need more than 5 pages per section for a high band? No. I've seen standard packages with 5 page responses that got band 6.

No one's going to bother reading through your +10 pages of bullshit. Heck I don't even know why you bothered and how you managed to pull it off (oh.. right you're lying).

A one page executive summary? What did you do just copy out the whole question again in dot points? Waste of time.

I very much doubt you could have written quality answers if you wrote that much. Then again we'll see when you get your HSC mark.

I wrote 'barely' 5 pages for both.

I did the essay first and then came back to the report.

I was heaps pissed off that the essay wasn't a global question, I was screwed so wrote just over 6 pages on that.

But I liked the business report, it was very simple, and I wrote exactly 10 full pages on that - my best ever :D

I'm thinking the essay was the only thing I did really bad in :(

I wrote 13 for biz report and 11 for essay with no diagrams. Seriously it is not hard to write that much, especially because reports have dot points and so on. Also i spend about 1 hour on each extended response...the 35 minutes recommended time is bullshit

the writing booklets have really wide spaced lines...only about 20 lines on a page ...and most people write about 8 words on a line so 20 pages is really not as unbelievable as it seems.

yes time management is definitely an issue but it is not that hard to finish multiple choice and short answer in an hour ..which basically leaves you about an hour for each extended response which is really quite an ample amount of time.
