Just a quick question... (1 Viewer)

[zaqwerty]

I heard that the writing booklets we receive in the HSC are only 4 pages. Is this true? I certainly hope not, what an inconvenience...

 

[starrysky]

WHAT?!

I thought they were eight pages ... the ones we were given in our English trials were supposedly the kind of booklets we'd get in the HSC, and they're eight pages long ...

Eeek.

 

[samuel slack]

They're 8 pages, but they equate to around roughly 4 a4 pages. I think we were discussing this somewhere else, at some point.

 

[zangetsu.xo]

as far as i know~
for english paper one creative writing we get a 4page booklet.
for everything else we get 8pages??

 

[samuel slack]

Why is the creative writing book smaller?

 

[jirwin]

8 page booklets for english exams.
4 page booklets for every other exam that i do anyway.

 

[chocolate_lover]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that for English we use 8-page booklets.

And for Mathematics we get a 4-page booklet for each question.

 

[zaqwerty]

Does anyone know what we get for Modern History?

 

[the hsc sucks]

jeez u guys stress a bit! u can ask for as many extra booklets as u want and creative writing being smaller is probably cos most ppl only manage a page or 2 anyway

yeah that was along the lines of what i was thinking ... they don`t limit you to a designated amount of pages right ? i`m pretty sure they dont

No, they don't. Knock yourself out, write as much as you like.

 

[EmilyFox]

Yer i think they're more than 4 pages, but the lines are ruled further apart than on normal lined paper.

 

[zaqwerty]

It's not that I don't want to ask for more booklets, it's that it slows me down/distracts me when I have to.

Learn to write smaller.

As far as I can remember I didn't have to ask for any extra booklets, but then again my writing is pretty small compared to everyone else with their what must be huge writing and 261763187687 booklets.

Or thats what it takes for a higher UAI/joke



It would be a waste of time constantly asking for booklets if they are 4 page.

 

[pritnep]

Haha, meh.

Well people better have hugh writing for the amount of booklets I have heard/seen some people ask for because no exam marker is going to be happy about reading a 2731837198 long essay when they have hundreds to mark a day.

but if its gold, theyd be digging it.

My take on it is that they give you enough booklets to answer all questions if you ask for more then your writing must be huge or your just rambling on for to long or your smarter then the average student.

Obviously. So why not write more for above average marks.

 

[pritnep]

Well like I said they give you enough booklets and they expect those to be full. Especially with time constraints and everything, so larger writing = more booklets. So would would assume you can still get top marks by only using the booklets they give you.
