I know quality is more important than quantity, but how many pages should a band 5/6 essay be for the crime mini-essay and the two options 25 mark essays. Also how many LCM should in incorporated throughout each response?

Crime - 3/4 pages
Options - 7/8 pages
For each paragraph you should have 3/4 LCM

This is my opinion, may be wrong though

Yeah thanks, thats the same as my teacher told me as a minimum for band 5/6.

Although I have a state marker for legal and I've gotten 25/25 a few times and I only do 3 body paragraphs that roughly take up a page each, so I only did 5 pages.

Hey mate, have you seen the ARC legal studies sample band 5/6 answers. They don't seem to contain many LCM and are pretty basic. Is this because markers are emphasising the use of LCM now, where they did not as much in the past or that if you answer the question perfectly then use of LCM can be limited and you can still acieve band 5/6

I'm not entirely sure about that. I'd just go for quantity ovee quality so I'd incorporate as much LCM as possible
