Just wondering, how many words are you guys planning on writting for the two 25marker essays? Also, how many words for the 15marker crime mini extended response? :smile:

Probably around 1000 words per essay I'm guessing? I don't really count my words, but theyre probably around the 1000 mark, or slightly more. For the crime response around 600-700 should be fine since its only 15 marks.

This. 1000 is the recommendation, but they can go as low as 800.

My Family one is 1000 + Answering the question, My World order is like 1350 + Answering question
Yeah I know mine are really long too but I have to cut down to at least a 1000 cause I wont be able to write more than that! But it really is hard to effectively answer /discuss in detail with less than a 1000 words!

I try to finish Core in 1 hour, which is possible. The multiple choice you usually do in reading time plus maybe an additional 5 minutes, and the human rights section can be knocked off in 15 minutes. Crime extended response, I try to leave about 35 minutes for. My crime is usually around ~700 words.

I'm not sure of the exact amount I write, but in an hour it'll be over 1000 for each. But quality > quantity, however, nothing like it, if you can have both.
