Paper 1 Essay Expected Length (1 Viewer)

[zenger69]

The essay in the last part of paper 1 like "Journey Leads To Greater Understanding".

What is usually the expected length, as my teacher says fill in a whole booklet with average handwriting.

Would it be about 1000 words?

 

[Scanorama]

Yeah whole booklet should be enough. It would be around 1200 words? Or 3-4 pages of normal A4 paper.

 

[absolution*]

I would be trying for somewhere around 1300-1500 because the first section is generally piss easy.

 

[zenger69]

so would you suggest to waffle on as much as you can.......?

 

[7minute]

I always just filled up one of those examination booklet thingys. That seemed to be enough.

one booklet is fine.....you can write more....but be carefull to not overwrite and run outta time coz a good start with no conculsion doesnt look too good 4 da markers ( daz wat i done in my trial 4 english, i ran outta time 4 all the essays, but thankfully fixed it up in hsc) u can write as much as u want, but u need to learn how to manage it with the time so practicing beforehand at home is a gud idea, coz then youll know approx how much time you need to allocate for how many pages n stuff.
