Guy at our school wrote 32 pages for one section, 24 for other, and I was sitting next to him... Really inspirational stuff xD

(I think he writes 4-5 words a line)

wow everyone writes soooo much!! it seems impossible.
i made it into a second booklet for the FIRST TIME EVER in english today, just managed one page extra... some people must have HUMONGOUS WRITING
or they write a lot ;) i think mine were both about 1500 - are these quantity-full people doing around the same, or much more?

lol I feel a tad stupid. I was sitting here thinking for some reason that you were all talking about the amount of pages just for the essay, therefore I was thinking "Holy shite! How could you all write so much and still have time for the creative writing." :rolleyes:
But yeah, overall I wrote one full booklet for each, so 20 pages.
35 is still a hellava lot :uhoh:

I wrote 22, 11.5 for critical and 10.5 for essay. I was excited by that, but people in the 50s?!?!?! Are you robots designed to write fast! wow.

i have no idea how much i wrote! Not enough by the sounds of it..
i was put off by the creative writing part where you HAD to write a short story, well i was screwed. majorly screwed. i think the last line of my story was.

"ONLY GOD SHALL JUDGE ME!"

*shudder* oh the cliche, i hope my teacher never see's it aahahha

I have fairly smooshy writing. But it's so true: it's all to do with quality of the writing and analysis.
Did you all get kinda weird creative questions? Most people I've talked to said that the question didn't really relate to their module but they twisted it in some way...

I did about 14 + 14 = 28 pages. i agree though, that quality > quantity. just look at the high range sample response thingys, they're all about 8 pages each!

RTFG critical was a little tricky.. while creative was *insert prepared story here*. which may be good or bad. we'll see

I did 22 i think. My friend only did 12, but her writing is so tiny she fits like 12 words on a line, so it probably equates to 24+ pages in normal handwriting.

hopefully markers wont be put off by the lack of pages
