How do you manage 8 pages? =/ I used 4 1/2, and I think I answered the questions sufficiently! Is your writing big? I fit about 15 words per line.

15 words per line??? WTF i dont think thats physically possible...

i did 5.5 pages (i counted it as 6 lol) and i average 7-8 words per line.

i did a) b) and started c) on one page, then did the rest of c) plus started d) which was about 1 and a third pages. did 2.5 pages on e)

I did about 10 pages. But my writing is quite big. Almost like 8 words a page. So I guess that probably would've amounted to 6 pages if I'd written 'normally'

I used up 6 pages. I don't think I wrote enough for the last question though :( I only wrote around 2 pages for it.

I wrote 6.5 pages but it was total crap.

Anyway one of our teachers said that comprehension is worth equal marks to creative and essay, so logically you should write roughly the same for each.

One page short of two whole booklets
But I did it last so at that point my handwriting was pretty big and sloped, probably only 6 words a line.

3 pages, 5 marker took up about a page and a bit.

It's usually overboard to write for more than 5 or so pages in section 1. I did about 400 words (2 normal A4 pages) for my trial and got full marks for it. quality > quantity, thats for sure in section 1.

I wrote 5 or 6 pages. My writing size varies though... the answer book looked like 3 different people had written in it.
