Oh My Friggin God can everyone on this forum wake up to themselves, and realise we are ALL NERDS for being on here in the first place. So if wog boy or anyone else thinks they are better than anyone else on this forum, they need to take their finger out of their hairy arse and relocate in a slightly more racist forum. Seriously guys, grow up.You're making the site less fun for all the people who genuinely are interested in other peoples thoughts.

Approx. ten, coupled with writing synonymous with Arabic, for each of them...

I'm fearing that my responses were too vague, in terms of what they answered...

My ATAR aim has dropped another notch...

yay for vagueness.... yeah i feel a bit like that.. but i have had past times where i felt i crapped on about nothing and got a reasonable score... i didnt use many quotes.. so a 20 is impossible

I'd like to emphasise quality over quantity. A combination of both works well tho. I was writing about 10 words a line and I got 23 total (8, 7, 8)

cmon
all those people who wrote 6 pages
do you really think you're going to get a decent mark with that little info?
wake up
there are people out there writing 12.
HSC markers stop marking the essay once you have reached sufficient explanation. For the people who think that the teachers bother reading 12 or 14 pages of writing is very wrong

You should be fine. I did about 5-7 words a line, and I did about 30 pages. So yeah, you're fine. How many words were your essays (guestimate). Mine were about 1200 each.

Module A - 12 Module B - 11 Module C - 10 I have average sized writing, I wouldn't consider it big, but also I know I don't write as small as I usually do in exam conditions. Also, as people have said, quality over quantity, although I've heard some markers have initial impressions based on page count and honestly I can't see how you can answer an Adv English essay with anything less than 6 pages.

I wrote about 13 / 16 / 15 = 44 pages all up.

I was a little disappointed, I didn't know how to finish up module A. I can't believe I filled up 2 booklets for mod B tho. I guess I never ran out of things to say.

How many words per essay (general-ish)? BTW, I disagree, you can answer an essay with less than 6 pages. But, those 6 pages better be at least 900 words.
