Some people apparently wrote like 3 booklets? It seems outrageous unless their handwriting is huge..

So i'm curious , APPROXIMATELY.. how many words did everyone write?

I wrote maybe 2500 all up, which is less than a lot of people I talked to. But I'm not worrying about it, I just blame being a slow writer on lefthandedness. ^_^

I wrote 25 pages and write 6/7 words a page. So what would that be?

I wrote 9 pages for module C, 10 pages for module B and 7.5 pages for module A.

6-7 words per line?

But it's not quantity, it's really not. I just wish I had a bit of quality.

would be more interesting to see how many words for however many pages, instead of just "yeah 2500". It be like "I did 2500 words over 40 pages" so we can see who the people writing with fat whiteboard markers are. Or even just say how many words a line?

If you're so keen:

~2500 words in 5.5 + 6.5 + 6 = 18 pages. Roughly 140 words/page.

I think it's 26 lines

It's not 26. There's that many in a standard A4 page. The booklets are smaller, and the gaps are bigger.

Guessing at 15 lines I got 1950 words.

Guessing at 20 lines I got 2600 words

Broken up over 13 pages, at approx 10 words a line.

So somewhere in that vacinty is the number of words I wrote

lol well i was actually getting freaked out cos ppl had written more than one booklet for heaps?!??? i actually started writing smaller near the end so that i wouldn't have to ask for another

did u mention the quote at all?? but neway, u probably won't be penalized much/if at all? actually not sure.. haha but that test was so much better than p1 for me. have no idea what the standard is tho?? so don't know what my essays r like

3500-3700 (not 'calculated', just based on how long my prepared essays were + more stuff I had to add specific to the question)

I'm guessing around 40 pages all up.

I think its about 20/page for BOS paper

So 20 x 5.5 (words per line) x 12 (pages) x 3 (essays) = about 3900.

Fuck! how the hell did I do that

I did around 3200 words. Not too shabby. I'm fairly sure it was quality writing too, heh. *Stoked*
