Easy questions, hope I did ok I strayed off the question in section 3 but hopefully I recovered.
Section 1: 7.5
Section 2: 7
Section 3: 8.5
That's about 6-7 words per line
Damn it, easy exams means high average...mine wasn't brilliant

I found a good technique to write as fast as you can. If you are sitting next to a smart person who usually busts out a good 15 pages for an essay, try to keep up with them ;)

I was sitting next to some fast writer and managed to keep up until about 4 pages, then she pulled out the NOS and left me behind.....

I donno how people write more than about 5 pages for question one... that means you would've had to write a page for the one mark questions.. wtf!

though i have small writing

overall it was pretty good

very confident with section 1, section 2 i kind of realised that the story i wrote wasn't journeys across landscapes but more journeys in one landscape ??
and section 3 was good though there was sooo much i didn;t write about cause i wrote so much on my 2 self selected and the BOS one, ended up really only making the basic points for the prescribed. though it was 10 pages of non-crap, so how bad could it be?
