I did PoMo - 13 pages for the essay, 8 pages for the creative. I think most people did more - the girl behind me had five booklets - but my handwriting's pretty small.

I dis tiny compared to everyone else, 8 for creative and 9 for essay. Still, I am so proud of that 9! I was onto 8 when the hour was up (i did essay first) and I thought, bugger it, I want a string, I'll take 5 min off creative! And it was okay, because my story ended, so taking the 5 minutes off didn't make a difference, and I got a string!
My teacher said last year she was marking Gwen Harwood for critical study, and she liked people who did that best, because you pick it up and go "Yep, this person must know a lot" and then "Damn, I'm going to have to read all that..." then the second book only has one page, o it makes them happy, because its shorter!
Thats clutching at strings a little, but still!
I'm so proud that i got a string too! I wrote 1 1/2 booklets for essay, and 1 1/4 booklets for creative. But, my creative is so bad, so it really doesn't matter how much I wrote.

I'm happy with that effort which is all that should matter.

i did individual and society and did about 14 pages for creative and about 21 pages for essay.... assuming that its 8 pages in a booklet, am i correct?

i dont see the point of judging by the number of pages u write, however.... all it shows is how large or small your handwriting is, how many spaces you leave between words or paragraphs, or how fast or slow you write - none of which have anything to do with ur ability or knowledge.
