How many booklets did you use? (1 Viewer)

[danz90]

isnt their a certain amount on boared of studies that you should be writing like words an hour?

i've read somehwere on board of studies site that 6-8 pages of the hsc writing booklets is sufficient for a strong, high-range response.

in saying that.. even if u wrote 3498045025 pages... doesn't mean it will be high-range.

i totally agree.
i used only 3 booklets.
and wrote this much:

section 1: 6 pages
section 2: 6 pages
section 3: 8 pages

and i felt quote confident with the answers.. they addressed the questions well..., and dont see why they can't score me as much marks as someone who wrote like 23934634806346 pages. lol

exactly as much as you

i'd lyk 2 meet someone who's written 3498045025 pages...

and besides, if you wrote something lyk 13 pages and it's a load of garbage then brace yourself for a shit mark...quantity not quantity pplz!

I used 9 pages for essay - 6 Pages for Story & Not sure for the unseen.

My writing is massive though, so its prob like.. 5/6 pages for essay and like 4 for my creative..

Quality not quantity.

Overall: Great and straight-forward paper.

I'm so scared for paper two : EMMA. FRONTLINE. KING LEAR.

Wow.

It's just the lack of time!!! :| I can't write fast...

 

[krazedrealitii]

Most people who can write a lot write pretty good quality stuff as well

 

[gina1990]

i used 4 but only just.
Section 3 I used whole booklet + one page of a new booklet lol

exactly the same for me lol.

 

[gina1990]

5 booklets

Section 1: 1 Booklet (8 pages... was about to call for another booklet when we got called to stop:angry: )
Section 2: 2 Booklets (12 pages )
Section 3: 2 Booklets (10 pages )

(Essay and Creative were memorised obviously)

omg get a life u gay. all ur posts have been u bragging about ur performance...NO ONE CARES!!!!

don't get me wrong.. im sure many of those lengthy responses are 15/15. but what im saying is that writing a long response doesnt guarantee u good marks. and in saying that... even a 6 page response could score 14-15 if it was good and fulfilled all criteria of a 14-15/15 response.

not sure how many pages i wrote as i did it on the computer but i wrote on average 17-1800 words for each (according to wordcount). lucky i get to use computer cos of my 'shoulder injury' cos i could write about 900 otherwise. man i love claiming stuff

So you doubled your word count? Right now I gotta injure my shoulder next year xD

omg get a life u gay. all ur posts have been u bragging about ur performance...NO ONE CARES!!!!

thank you!!!! reading this shit is seriously freaking me out! i wrote like 13 pages all up and i thought that was pretty good but all u freaks have written like 20+ pages that is RIDICULOUS!

 

[neeksy45]

i dont think that 12-13 pages is a short story.
haha well not in my opinion anyway.
it just means it's a stupid length

 

[dance2urownbeat]

i don't really see why anyone would be annoyed with people writing more pages than them...if you are happy with what you wrote what does it matter what someone else did?
it depends on memorised or spontaneous, writing size, different writing speeds...and the whole 'quality over quantity' thing. some people are quick writers thus can write plenty, other people would never dream of getting past 1 booklet.
who cares hey, whatever works for you personally.
just do the best you can; there's no need to compare yourselves.

 

[tijana69]

i used 7 booklets all up

SECTION 1: 2
SECTION 2: 1
SECTION 3: 4




my hand was totally sore that now my bump on my finger has gone bigger =( goodluck to me on monday, joyy more sore fingers and handsss *cries*

 

[minijumbuk]

Oops, I misunderstood that as how many booklets per question. I used 3. =O

Isn't that the minimal? =P

 

[Ben73]

some people used less then 3 booklets cuz they did 2-3 sections In one booklet. Stupid

 

[marinabenyamin]

i used 5 but then again im one of those people that have huge writing..

11 pages short answer
8 pages creative
10 pages critical!

wasnt too hapy with the critical i went blank and COULD NOT REMMEBER MY ESSAY AT ALLL ...not even the QUOTES!

 

[treehat]

I physically cannot ever write more than 6 pages in a response. I just cant write that fast lol, i need to think. Though I do usually get 90 to full marks so its shows that quality is whats important. I do get annoyed by the people around me writing like 3 booklets for one essay haha.. wish I could do that

 

[kriss3e]

5 booklets all up, however not completely full..
So sure I screwed up in Section I

 

[Natasha.1990]

4 booklets all up for me
I screwed up on question 1 also
I couldnt believe that I wrote 5 pages on the essay though!
I have never written that much berfore!!!

 

[Stressy106]

i used two whole booklets for section 2, if my story was one line longer i would have to gotten another booklet. my essay was two. and my section 1 was 1. so five booklets. thats alright though? i have pretty small writing aswell though.
I don't know. its all over now. After monday no more advanced english ever again!! YAY!
