yeh ive read some examples for band 5 and 6 and i dont know how they did it! i cant even read what they wrote!

 

[bubu]

it makes sense tho the 5&6 band responses

i cant believe they write so fast like 14 pages

i usually write about 5-6 and sometimes 8 if i no wat to write exactli

Most of it has to do with the quality of your essay.

Slower writers usually have more time to reflect on what they are writing: use this to your advantage.

You shouldnt be too worried about quantity. I know a few people who used to always get 19/20 at school for writing 4 pages. It does look impressive when you write heaps to markers, but it appeals more to them if you make a definite argument/point early on

hmmm...

funni thing that

once i read the question a couple of times over

if its somethin ive seen before i begin to write before my mind clicks in

I can write 5pages max in 40 mins (big writing) and even that is only when i dont think at all and i know exactly what to write. Hence im reallyyyy slow and we're on the same boat

I have really neat handwriting and my downfall in exams used to be that I'd try to write my answers super super neat and make it look pretty. My Legal Studies teacher told me not to worry about what it looks like, as long as the marker can read it! So, just let it go, don't worry about it looking good or anything and just free write.

Try spending time doing a mind map or something to get your notes down clearly including relevant quotes etc and then begin to free write. (just write, and not stop to do anything except check the mind map) Try writing with big gaps and a line between each sentence to make sure when you read over it at the end, there is space to add in sentences that you forgot etc.
