i think i write pretty big though (5-8 a line). i get scared when people say 32 pages and that, and there always seems to be so many of them on this site! but then again, if, as someone wrote about, the average is 12 pages then im doing ok.

Hey you guys are all saying like "oh i wrote 12 pages (1175 words) and stuff... did u go through and count the words or... did u use a prepared essay and thats how u knew? coz i thought u were sposed to answer the question, not just fire off 25 pages of something different. Just curious is all

Genre->Crime Fiction-> 12 Essay -> 14 Creative
people know how many pages they wrote by counting them at the end of the exam??

and of course you were supposed to answer the question, people who fire off pre-prepared essays get caught out by the marker, as it is pretty obvious lol. for eng i always prepared paragraphs that i could mould to any question, just by adapting the topic sentence and changing the links within the paragraph itself, and generally making it sound like it is suited to the question being asked.

for this exam, as someone said above, i didn't find it hard at all to link to the questions...the essay in particularly for revenge tragedy was EXTREMELY broad! so yah...

11 pages for both, so that's 22 pages, if my maths is correct. I feel like 10 of the 11 pages for the essay part were complete rubbish, but hopefully I'll make up for it in the creative part.

Oh u didnt get what i meant, i was referring to how did they know how many words there were. Because unless they counted, it meant using a prepared answer. soooo yeah
