How can you be sure?

Just take a look at the standards package.. How is it that people who write in all different sizes of writing, with VARYING abilities at being succinct all hit both the band 5/6 mark and the 7/8 page mark simultaneously?

When the... Marker flips through the pages and notices you've got the whole booklet filled, he gets a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. From then on, after this realization of 7~ pages, your essay has favor.

Now if you go ahead and write random things in those 7 pages, youl'l quickly lose that favor. But say, you compared the essays of two students, one who's written 6 pages, the other who's covered the EXACT same content in 8 pages, with a little more long winded response.

I can gaurentee you the 8 page guy will > the 6 page guy, even if those 2 pages were filled with nothing more than extra "ands" and sophism.
Fuck no, the marker thinks 'Oh shit, I have to read through ALL of this?!'

...do you know the conditions they work in? Some massive warehouse which is either stinking hot or freezing cold, going through exam paper after exam paper...

Mine will be about 950-1200 words for my essays next year... but I won't prepare full essays... so that's more of what I'd estimate them to be around.
