Thanks Kimmeh and Cro_angel I've been looking for standard packages for a while. ROFL band 1/2 responses - some of the 5/6 have atrocious handwriting and some 1/2 have beautiful handwriting *phew*
Do many schools have just the concept of 'journey' tested and not any texts like mine and RUB!X's? It is only a listening task and a creative response - which could be anything arghhh

got my half yearly back today and was informed that for the HSC a minimum of 8 pages is needed from advanced students to be considered for an A. In the HSC though, 8 pages is one writing booklet and they are really easy to write in.

it depends on the question and the stimulus for a creative question. oh and don't replicate soap opera story lines cos they always know

8!!!! i was told that a good 4-5 pages was good enough! hmm...
8 pages as in 8 pages of those official BOS booklets, which huge lines and spaces in between, that's equal to 4 or 5 pages of normal paper!

I can't write that fast though... I can do 3 pages, 4 pages at the most... but it's quality, not quantity right!? ok, that's not much consolation either...
