idk the standards for essay lengths are stupid for english...my hsie subjects recommend 800 in 40 which is reasonable fo 20 marks but english faculty really have the audacity to ask for 1200 in the same time which is insane. My teachers ask for 1200, but hsie is so much easier to write about than english so i really dont know
this is funnier than it shoudlve beenbro predicted the future
yeah the standards between my history teacher and english teacher are so different... i agree with you tho, i could get 5 paras in modern so easy but i struggle to get three in eng lmao
3 paragraphs with detailed analysis and 3 quotes is insane. i usually do 2 paragraphs with 2 quotes, idk how ppl are banging out band 6s with 3 paragraphs and 3 quotes while having less time than me
in 40 mins, 1000 is fine, trust me. one guy from my training got a raw 90 and his mod a essay didnt even hit 1000
if my teachers were to read these 20/20 essays, they would be slammed so hard...because when I give detailed explanations on how a quote relates to the topic sentence and thesis and purpose of the text, I'm told to be more specific but when the essays have literally 1 sentence for each quote and 6-7 quotes each for 3 body paragraphs, they get 20/20. Life's not fair
so 45 minutes should be your goal if you're writing 1100 words...something more feasible would be 1000 in 40-45
send me an example ill give honest feedback, maybe u just need sum fresh eyes
perhaps
itll help. trust im not stealing shit
I've sent my common mod...also I dont mind if you use parts of my essay
fair enough, im sure you can get it!
honestly i think the whole break even thing is more stress than its worth. just try to get the highest mark you can, everyone gets affected by scaling anyways
the “breakeven” thing is genuinely just straight up misinformation, ignore it
could you explain why cause my teachers keep saying that you can get scaled down if you dont hit the breakeven point
