I wrote 11 for the essay and 7 for the creative. I know, I know: Why do people go over the top with the essay? I dont know. Maybe we all presume that we can boost creative marks with quality over quantity?
Detail = marks. Read the exemplar responses. They're lean on argument, insane on detail, and very long.

Won't somebody think of the trees?!

Also, I do believe this was the first time ever in an exam that I wrote a plan for my creative task, as it was quite a spontaneous effort. Did anyone else do similar?
i wrote down my prompts so i would remember the order of my multiple perspective story

15.5 pages for essay
10 pages for cw

You people frighten me. I did 8 for CW and 9 for the essay, and that's the fastest I've ever written, in anything. I almost caught up to that in ancient today, but not quite.

I've found from trials and every other exam that quantity is definitely not going to get you over the line...nevertheless;
3 booklets for essay
2 for creative

i did crime fiction. and i actually made a conscious effort to write smaller in this one
oh yeah, we have a little over forty people doing ext. from different modules.

I wrote something similar to that. I don't believe the number of pages you write is a reflection on your intelligence so much as the speed of your hand.

Thank God it's all about quality.
I do indiv and society and I only wrote 8 for the essay and possibly 5 for creative. Although my writing is fairly small.

In the words of my all-knowing Legal Studies teacher, when it's your time, you'll do it. Especially after a whole year of essay writing.

one of my teachers was saying that there was a girl at my school (from previous years) and when she became nervous due to exam conditions she literally wrote like two words on a page lol
