I have 'cranky old man' hand writing which is really small according to my teachers.

Crime: 8
Consumer: 8 (could have written more but felt I had made my point)
Family: 12

I was the only one left writing my student number all over the place at the end.
If theres one number I'll remember for the rest of the life, it will be my student number.
Hoping for a good band 5 in legal.

crime - 12 (about 10 real pages considering A and B were 2 lines each)

family - 12.5

consumer - 10

writing tends to get bigger towards the end (crime would be about 8 per line, extendeds about 7-7.5 words per line)

i average about 7.5 and thought my 12.5 on family was plenty lol.. i could have got a few more pages for each of my sections if my pen didnt leave the paper (i spend a lot of time in the exam thinking), but 33 pages on one response is crazy. physically impossible. i feel sorry for the marker lol.

agreed. i can physically only write about 12 pages. dont know how some of you guys do it. hahas. if you look at the sample band 6 responses, they're like 6 pages each.

i did 10 for workplace, 8 for world order. not nearly enough? :hammer:
