Yeah I could have written for about 20 years for the first question but knew I had to control myself. And for the creative question I just kept writing till it was time to finish...

nah, everyone in our class (the whole 4 of us) left early...I think I left with about 20mins to go....I was the second to leave.
I finished at about 11 ish, because I really didn't have all that much to say for my creative piece, and I covered everything I needed to in my first response. So there was nothing else to do but "crap on" in my creative, for another 1-2 pages.

yeah same huy - i would have finished early except i wrote really slow for my creative

it was even neat writing - not that ill get extra marks 4 it

i was like look at clock - write another paragraph - rest my arm - write another paragraph - pick my fingernails - look at everyone else in the room - write some more

i wish i had of spent more time on my essay! instead of wasting half the exam with a shit creative

There's gotta be a point where anything u keep writing is just repitition, and u don't get any marks for waffle.
I left with 10 minutes to go, cos absolutely everyone had finished and we all just asked to leave together. 2 had already left, one with half an hour to go and one with 15 minutes.
Lol I think i called my guy Vladamir Blow or something.

i definately wouldn't say that for extension... You spend all year on this module and one essay on it is never going to cover it all

Our guy is really laid-back, he lets us start early if everyone is there and are prepared to start early, and says that we're not meant to leave in the last 15 but if we don't have a problem with ppl leaving in the last 15 then he doesn't either.
He also said that those who aren't given time during their exam to tell the supervisor to read the guide cos it says explicitly that students have seperate reading time, working time and administrative time...

Our guy said the same thing, since it was a small number/group.

We started reading time early, which was fine, and everyone was allowed to leave early (if they so chose to). Most people stayed for the full two hours though.
