Simple, quality > quantity. For my trials l wrote 3 pages of 'normal size' font writing and got 14/20.

dont mean to be rude but 14 isnt magnificent...

i beat him got full marks in all modules

quality comes into play when you have written ENOUGH (6 pages min, with 6 words per line)

It's stupid. People should talk about what they wrote - this is what gets marked, not the number of pages. People like to brag they wrote X pages.

Reality is they write what tonnes of other people write, but with larger handwriting. *illusion shattered*

Quality over quantity I always say. ;)

People used to ask me all the time, like, after almost every English assessment...it was annoying as hell.
