lol
i write reasonably small..usually go over like 5 or so lines...its weird cos i never get to finish their exam booklets..eight pages long...longest i've done is an 8 page business report so far.
weird cos my friend used 8 full booklets for his english exam...thats frickin ridiculous. He writes like 4 words a line tho. but still

yeah i know exactly what you mean, like my writing is pretty big and for some of the 5 markers i wrote down the entire page.Stopsign said:
Still it's better than at school where my retarded teacher puts like massive, irrelevant pictures in the way of me utilising the rest of the page.
Yes, you know who the fuck you are Mr. i suck at setting exams.

<3 the hate. lol
mmm yeah, i seem to not get enough space. maybe they should stop using those answer booklets in phys and give us writnig booklets to do the answers? it'd be much more easier.
but then again, the amount of lines there are indicates how much u gotta write.
I agree with a lot of people are saying but from a markers point of view, if you are concise and answer the question asked and leave out the extra then there is enough room.
Sadly most people add a lot of extra information that doesn't help there answer but isn't relevent.
Worst I have seen is and 8 page book for a 6 mark physics question. 12 lines were provided for that question and markers allocated about 5 minutes to mark the question.

Urgh no way... I'd hate just booklets. I'd either end up rambling on and turning it into an english essay (repeating everything 100 times over). At least the lines gives you an idea. Though I do have to say I went over the amount of lines for most of the 3+ markers... The sad thing was it was all relevant!shinji said:

I agree with the whole not enough lines, i have average writing and i took the whole page up with all those questions, and i am sure i wasnt babbling either....
And even when we went through the trials the teachers suggested ansers could never fit in the provided space.

man i am absolutely fucken annoyed by not getting enough lines. i asked the supervisor if i can get an extra writing booklets for the short responses, they were like, in the most fucken annoying voice ever, 'no, you just have to squeeze them in around the page'... how the fuck am i suppose to express myself without messing up my page, and the markers are whinging about untidy writing and shit all. so for all you teachers and exam writers out there, stop being so fucken stingy with the lines and give us more space... FUCK

yea...WTF is with those VERY LIMITED lines? i tried to cram stuff into a line...ended up goin off the side a bit! i felt like a kid who cant colour in between the goddam lines!
I think with regards to lines its a mentality issue. Say, perchance, there's a 4 mark question on BCS theory with 14 lines to write in, as opposed to the 7 or so there are in the exam. How much more then will a person who hasn't studied BCS theory be thrown by the appearance of the question? I know in some cases the lack of space can be annoying, but often with the 4-5 mark questions they give us the rest of the page (unlined) to write in if we so needed.
It's not an issue of being succinct - I say its a mentality thing all in all.
And as for the theory/equations debate - we're given a formula sheet, so almost anyone can plug the right values in and get the required answer. However, you're less likely to mis-read an entire theory question than you are to put the wrong number in on a calculator. It's more of a test of the student's effort to have learnt the theory than it is to test them with 50% formulae.
In the case of Projectile Motion or similar though it's more than simple substitution..
