The Appropriate Length For An Extended Response. (1 Viewer)

[Nuclear]

The bored of studies released that a good length for any extended response question (So including those in Paper 2) is 6-8 EXAM BOOKLET PAGES.

That is around 3-4 A4 Pages.

However they prefer quality over quantity.

So if you write 4 exam booklet pages extremely well, you'd get higher than a person who wrote 6 exam booklet pages only decently.

Just though I'd let all those who are stressing know.

I only managed about 5 pages, but my teacher says I'm definitely quality over quantity so I hope for a semi-decent mark anyway.

Did anyone get the 4-page booklets this year? I think everyone at my centre got the 8-page ones.

Managed to pump out 7 pages of quality work. It was much easier with only two texts because it doesn't seem like you are prolonging your thesis. Pretty fair exam, as well.

Same here
and agree with it being easier with 2 texts, the integration was in pretty much straight forward linear fashion.

I did 11 pages of quality English Paper 1
Though I wrote like 5 words a line near the end.

 

[rowdyroddy]

for the trials i wrote 3-4 pages for each module in paper 2, got over 11/15 for each one.
and thats about 900 words each for me as i fit 12+ words a line.

God I hate people using pages as an example. Everyone has different writing and ways on physically structuring their piece. USE WORDS AS MEASUREMENTS

 

[driaxx]

I think I did like 10 but my writing is quite large

9 for creative writing

I wrote 8 pages but that would only be slightly over 900 words
most people's letters get bigger as they write

took 1 line for me in my conclusion

 

[hereyes]

would they ever deduct marks for something being 'too long' or not the 'good length'?

I wrote 12 pages - although I write big to prevent my hands from cramping up.
???
