Umm personally, esp with regards to the essay its much better if you can write more. In the half yearlys the only people who got 24 or higher wrote more then a booklet. You need a certain ammount of content to answer the question adequetly. Normally with the creative it doesn't really matter but the Genre question had lots of components to it and maybe she needed 9 pages to express her idea. Get over it. You must be a brilliant writer to be able to articulate everything in in 4.5 pages. Considering we have an hour I think its probably wise to write alot.

Perhaps he wasn't using booklets?

Talk in terms of words people! The whole paper thing is confusing - we use HSC booklets and I needed a couple.
I wrote about 2000 for the essay and 1800 for the story.
Compare.

But even so 10 pages in a booklet does not = 4.5 A4 pages.

I wrote 2000 for the essay and about 1600 for the creative.

 

[scoby_2000]

well its always been my experience that its quality over quantity no matter what

wateva the case...

i wrote 5 pages, she wrote 10...i bet our marks were not that different...

only time will tell


p.s - i am very articulate

I also believe in quality over quantity and maybe this particular person just has quantity but personally I like to have both and my av in ext is 97, so its working for me.

 

[ishq]

Its not quality over quantity.

As Sphynx (a very articulate BOS'er) says, Quality in enough Quantity will do the trick.

And Sweets:
How can your average in extension be 97: Its a one-unit ocurse. Out of 50, my dear

Actually, yes, it does, in my handwriting anyway. I wrote 6.5 A4 for the essay and that's roughly equivalent to the 1.5 8-page booklets I've used for other subjects.

What the hell are you talking about? Are you that immature that you can't even carry on an intelligent discussion, having to resort to such petty primary school playground calls simply because I disagree with you? I saw you rip into that guy because he only wrote about 4 pages, screaming at him to "get over it", and I quite clearly saw that you were wrong, so I replied. At the very least, however, I kept it civil, unlike you.

No, I think it's you that keeps trying to prove yourself. Learn to accept other people's opinions, which will sometimes conflict. In those immortal words of yours, get over it.

Umm you are the one who keeps on persisting with this discussion, even though it became redundant a while ago. And I did not 'rip into him', I just told him that some like to have quality and quantity and on that note, you wearn't exactly involved in the discussion were you.

I was wrong. Talk about primary school. There is no right or wrong in 'disccussion', as you so eloquently put it.

Um...I think you should look up the word "forum" in the dictionary. I don't need an exclusive pass to involve myself.

May I also point out that he never asked your opinion, so really, according to your bizarre logic, you weren't involved either. Next time I'll be sure to ask your permission to involve myself

I suggest you learn to accept the fact that in life not everyone will agree with you. I know it's hard, but you know, we "get over it".
