That's so not true. No marker is going to think that a 4 page answer for an essay(in those size booklets) could be of high quality. You need quantity for quality.

For me:
Section 1: 5
Section 2: 4
Section 3: 8
Those booklets really put me off though. Because I was used to practicing just on a normal pad at home, it changed my writing size throughout the whole booklet for the essay.

Well I don't agree because I've always been taught quality over quantity :p

Question 1: 4.5 pages

Question 2: 3.5 pages

Question 3: 4.5 pages

I did,
Sect 1 - 5 or 6 ish
Sect 2 - 7/8
Sect 3 - 10 and a bit

It's quantity AND quality, you need both, although I wouldn't say my responses had much quality, but, did my best. Now on to the next test.

Okay, the page spectrum is pretty broad. We got people who wrote from 5 page to 34 pages. I know someone who wrote 2. Jesus.

umm, i used exactly one booklets for question 1
question 2 : 1.5 booklets so like 18 pages
question 3: was 2 booklests......24 pages.....
i didin't write very much cause i have small writting, so hard for me to write a lot in those booklets
Hey poijse
You say you wrote:

section 1... 1 booklet (which should be about 8 pages)
Section 2... 1.5 booklets (which should be about 12.5 pages - not 18)
Section 3... 2 booklets (which should be about 16 pages - not 24)

What booklets were you writing in?

I wrote (about 8 words per line)
Section 1: 6 pages
Section 2: 8 pages
Section 3: 15 pages

Overall - I was glad they didn't stipulate certain Text Types. BUT THAT MEANS BE PREPARED FOR MAJOR TEXT TYPES IN THE MODULES.... :eek:

I am assuming it isn't bad to write in just one booklet.... because otherwise they would give you more than 8 pages in ONE booklet. 8 Pages is obviously enough for them. I am sure you did enough writing! :D

Section I - 8
Section II- 10
Section III- 18

Obviously, from the Roman numerals, you can tell I'm just a tiny bit geeky. I also have humungous loopy handwriting that deteriorates and gets exponentially larger...but I thought it wasn't too horrible, no stupid formats, at least. All in all, a predictable test.
