    How many words are your essays

    Hey abhi23 - why does your teacher say we need to write more for AOS than for our modules? I would have thought it'd be the other way round??? But yeah... those numbers actually sound pretty reasonable. You see, my teachers say that if we're not getting into the second booklet, then a band...
