How many words should a decent response for Section II and III be? So far I'm looking at doing 1000 words approximately each, is this too few?

And I know that quality ===> quantity

But how many much for a "generic" amount? :)
Thanks for any help!

Ummm, after typing up my trial responses (mad, I know), I had about 1000 for section two, and 1400 for section three. But then again, it all depens on what you write. If you can write concisely, claps for you, 'coz I cant, lol :)

for question 3 i reckon 1300-1500 is ideal, but for creative writing it only has to be 2 or 3 pages to get a top band response :)

2 or 3 pages of which kind? The BOS exam writing paper, or the A4 type?

I'm getting around the 1000 words for my essay. Section 2 i don't agree with your estimates. Section 2 is worth just as much as section 3, give it a smilar length.
