+1

Though attempt to write as MUCH as you can in 40 min, while not sacrificing on quality. I personally can squeeze in 1200 on a good day.

Stop using sophicated words in your essay lol, just remember not to story tell in your exam which is what examier are looking out for to determine if somone is good enough to be a least a band 5... as for reduceing it, as long as it's revelent to the question don't worry about it

Try cutting out some techniques that you might not need to mention

Modern teacher says that in 45 mins do 8+ booklet pages, 'should be into second booklet'

 

[oly1991]

i can write 1200 but id rather not because its hardly legible

my ideal length is around 950-1050 for essays and 850-950 for creative writing

Miminal amount of techniques is around ~10 in an essay right ?

 

[oly1991]

Dame that alot

about 2 pages of those booklets equals about 1 normal piece of paper. 8 pages of those booklets are about 1200 words...its definitely capable

I only managed to right 6 pages for my 25 markers today in modern... i think i'm modern is the worst trial exam mark i'm going to get ><"

It really depends on the essay but i usually have around 14 (just happens to be that number) but for other essays such as connections i might only have 9. I guess it's just whatever is convenient XD

norm page 30 lines, booklets around 20 lines, so 6 pages norm would equal 9 booklet pages
