So I've never seen a HSC booklet, whats the deal with the size compared to A4. Teachers keep saying I should be writing around 4 A4 pages: how many is this in booklet pages?

The booklets have much more space, I like them because i have bad handwriting.

So a normal ruled A4 page would have more lines than the HSC booklets

It's an A3 page, folded in half, so logically, it has 4 A4 pages. The front page contains the subject name and the information that goes with the subject. Then there are 3 pages for writing. It's meant to be the same amount of space as the old 4 writing page books.

In comparison to normal A4 lined pages, I reckon 4 normal A4 pages would be about 8 or so pages in the booklets depending on writing size.

No, that is an old one; pre-2010. They changed it in 2010.

If you look at the General Mathematics paper, towards the end is a writing booklet. The full writing pages are exactly the same as other booklets. There are only 3 pages per booklet, but the lines and spaces are proportionally equal to the pre-2010 booklets which were 4 pages.

^ this guy's right
They changed the booklet last year.
Our school used the new ones this year for our half yearlies and the trials had a mixture of both. Lol
But yeah, they have 30 lines a page. Or maybe 20. I don't remember. I have a scanned copy on my comp because I've been practicing English essays with them.

ok coz im lame, i measured it out for you.

there are 27 lines per page (however, on the back page on the last line it says 'you may ask for an extra booklet...' therefore only 26 lines on those pages)

each line is 17.8cm in length, and 1cm in height.

Also on the first page "start here" in the top left corner takes up a little space and on page 2 "Additional writing space on the back" takes up a little bit in the bottom right.
