I wasn't counting the number of pages, but I got to "last page" for all of them and asked for a new booklet for Context. (And then used two or three of those pages hahaha...how many is that?)
Because my six page piece worked PERFECTLY and I just copied it out from memory, it felt so good :)

I don't really see why this matters anymore  ??? the exam is over and you can't change what you've done.

I doubled space my text response, so keep that in mind - 12 pages

Language analysis - 6 pages. This was also double spaced - except for the last page (didn't bother asking for the second booklet at that point in time).

Context - 6 pages (not double spaced)

My handwriting wasn't too large, probably medium.

edit: fixed typo

I double spaced last year for lit... Probably should've done it again as the time constraints meant horrible handwriting :p

I memorised a 1400 word essay in 2 days...It ended up being 6 pages in the exam
However, only a 1000 of it was word-for-word...

I've been doing that same piece for the whole year, just tweaking it according to the prompt and what the teacher's feedback is towards certain parts, so it just comes naturally by this point.
But will someone answer my question plez :D

Depending how balanced your essays are, 25 pages would fit into two booklets. They provide seven pages for TR and six for context and LA.

I ended up writing 13 pages in total, but six of those pages were on context. I wouldn't have hit the 800 word mark for TR and LA so I'm too happy.

Remember guys its all about QUALITY not QUANTITY

I remember last year I wrote 3.5, 4.5, 3.5. No double spacing, medium handwriting but really squished up :)

So true.
Today someone asked me how many pages I did and I said more than 25 and they were all like "wow, you're going to get a good mark then' and I was thinking 'what the hell' because like you said, pages means shit, it's the content that has to be good. (And my writing is fat as)

All of my essays were roughly 1000 words, I have small handwriting so it was about 11- 12 pages in total.
