why are people always on about pages? for one thing, as Frigid said, 16 pages of crap will annoy the hell out of the markers. For another, people have different sized handwriting. Some people average about 4 words per line on HSC booklet paper. That's not much. So just learn how to write a coherent essay - you have the whole year in Advanced to practice this. Then you'll be fine.

in my opinion try to fill up the 8 pg booklet.
if u can write 4 pgs in 40 mins on normal A4 lined paper u'll easily reach this target.

I guess u have to write as much as u need to answer the question - and by the time the HSC comes, u'll know exactly how much info u need to write in relation to each module (because u'll start to realise the relevant and irrelevant material). Also, as a consequecne of wat I said above, different people write different amounts to get their point across, so more doesnt always mean better - however, u would be expected to write at least 1 booklet in order to properly construct your argument. Out of interest, I am/was a fast writer, so I decided that I could include more information in my essays, so I ended up writing 15, 12 and 16 exam booklet pages respectively for each of my modules.
i think they want good, concise info and u should b able to write 1 page in 10mins max (even though this can b hard!) hey, i say the more u write the better, as long as you dnt waffle co zu can get extra info in

does anyone know where i can get like.. 12-15mm paper?
i remember doing an hsc exam last year, and i was so shocked at the writing booklets, my writing (already pretty bad) was atrocious...
i'd like to practice, if only for the novelty of writing on big lines.

lol.. no need to be sarcastic..Originally posted by Minai
jeeze
do u want an authentic HSC exam supervisor watching u while u do ur practice essays too?
i prefer wide lines cuz my u can read my writing better; on normal paper it looks too squashed up and illegible.
also it looks better when i have 8pgs fat-lined paper... even if half the ppl in the grade already haf 8pgs normal lined paper...-.-;;
i'm exaggerating, but not by much...
