how many pages do they expect you to write in 40 minutes? (1 Viewer)

[yours]

no they used to be four-page booklets but now they're 3 page except they squished the lines so it gives as much space see

edit: Dont worry I found a sample on the link I put. It says it's for general mathematics but they use the same books for maths as for english right?

I get like 15-20 words per line and generally write about 2 maybe 2.5 pages in 40 mins

As stated before it comes down to how big you write.

Lol i know i said 'Quality > Quantity' but i can't feel like shit when i see someone else has written more than me. :L

Yeah i gotta write smaller. since they only give you 1 extra sheet of paper at a time, asking continually for paper will waste so much time....

can't you ask for like 20 at the start before the exam begins?

For medium sized hand writing 4-5 pages should be enough.

im not sure though.. the markers would think you're insane or greedy if you ask for 20.. I might try it actually in the exams..
