How long are your belonging essays?

Mines around 1600 but if i leave my third related text out, it's 1300. I'm trying to cut it the 1600 version down though, way too long.

Depends how long you want to spend on your essay. I'm planning about 45 minutes, so probably 1300ish.

1600 might be a tad long... can you fit that many words in!?

Agreed. About 1200-1300 is a good size.
You can write in about 40-45 minutes.

No, you will not unless you get like an hour to do Section 3.

And wtf, you're not even in Yr 12.

yup i practised writing them, my story which is like 1200 took 30 minutes and my essay took 35 so i'll be alright (essay required a bit of tweaking to answer the question).

as explained, i probably won't so I'm cutting it down. and plus, my creative is only 900 words so that gives me time

Honestly, I'd say it doesn't matter as long as you are concise and to the point. Stay on topic, argue your thesis to the best of your ability, sound like a boody genius doing it and you could get away with as little as 850-900. Bahahaha. One of my friends had an essay for trial that was only like 4 pages (it was around 900 words of pure awesomeness) of that fat exam paper (I had 6.5), she got 14/15! Betch. Lol.
I suppose you just can't contend with the skills. I also believe she may actually be a robot.. :O
I got 9/15, by the way. :S My second RT was shit and I had no argument. Ahhh, the days. :|

Happy Studying.

Omg lol rania how is that possible 1200 in 30 minutes.

Having a short creative is good, but remember you should be spending about 100-200 words just integrating the stimulus in creatives. That'll blow you out with a 1600 essay, especially if you have to integrate a wierd essay stimulus too.

Cut down to as little as you can, then blow it out in the exam room when you're confident you have time.

i write really really fast... whether it's legible is another story

plus most of the time it's just regurgitation of prepared responses so i don't have to think.. just write like a madman :uhhuh:

lol. your writing is probably really small HSC markers should take that into consideration
