laz... dis is a lil off topic...
but how many pages are we expected to write for eng adv pap 1 section 2: composing texts...
how many pages did u write... or recommend?

 

[Lazarus]

A good student should be able to write at least one A4 page every 10 minutes.

I would recommend aiming for one every eight minutes.

u noe how pap 1's 2hrs... so logically u shuld spend bt 40mins on each section...
im planning to spend bt 40 on sec 1
30 on sec 2
n 50 on sec 3...
wise or folly?

Mmm... wise to plan how to manage your time... folly to do it incorrectly.

Unless you're a brilliant writer, I would recommend instead cutting the time from section 1. You should be at the stage where you can race through those simple introductory questions on techniques and so on.

I'm of the opinion that most people will be cutting time from section 2, meaning if you spend more time there it will be easier to beat them. And you'll have the same advantage as them in section 3 if you use the spare time from section 1.

Make sense?

u should prolly spend the 30 on section 1, and 40 on section 2. cos u get the 10 min reading time anyways where u can read the texts ....

is that like a normal A4 page, or one hsc booklet page, cos those things have huge margins and gaps between lines

 

[Newbie]

you can do a page from the BOS booklets in 5 minutes

i know...how many pages per booklet? me want 'pink ribbon' effect

 

[rukawasan]

pigs... its just the 'ribbon effect' now... they scraped the 'pink' part with the new hsc... dosn't sound as enticing does it...

 

[pigs_can_fly]

good...also doesn't sound as gay

I believe there are eight (non-A4) pages per BOS booklet. Ribbon effect is coooool... I'm sure the markers would see your essay and go 'oooh ribbon student *tickticktickticktick*' before they even read it.

 

[rukawasan]

~sic~... im going to ribbon effect now... ive got the laz stamp of approval...

 

[pigs_can_fly]

oooh, 9 pages is achievable

hahah...full thrust ahead!
