I know it's about quality and not quantity, but I'm still interested to know how many pages everyone wrote?
I only wrote 2.5 pages on each, though I was reasonably happy with the content :)
-
just one...
4 pages on lang anal
3 on text response
3 on context
-
around 2.5 pages each
sigh
-
I ended up blabbing on for 4 pages for all 3 sections which is shorter than the usual amount I blab on for in practice essays. Unfortunately there really wasn't much depth to what I was saying and half the time I was just jumping up and down on the same points.
-
I only needed one book for each section. I think that would be more than enough for most people unless you are double spacing your lines.
I used just under 12 pages all up.
-
Text response: Almost 3 pages
Context: 5 and a bit pages - it was the last one I wrote, and a creative, so I got carried away
Language analysis: 3 and a bit pages
-
I wrote 4 pages for each essay. I think about 700 words each, give or take a hundred words.
-
2.5 pages each
-
4 for hard times
4 for whose reality
3 for language ANAL 8-)
surely no one asked for a second booklet?
-

I did that last year for Hard Times. But that was due to double spacing and fat writing.
-
With double spacing:
Whole booklet for both AMFAS and Context.
~5-6 pages for Language. (Can't remember :/ )
edit thanks to everyone who suggested double spacing, my writing was much easier to read and it just looked a lot better :)

double spacing as in every second line? that would do it i guess

3 on text

I have no idea how many pages I wrote for each because I finished writing exactly when the supervisor said 'time's up' so I had no time to proof read. :(

What's funny about it?
-
its funny because i am pretty sure not everyone would of done that well and what a coincidence that they all happen to be on the same website it just stupid really..
-
Not everyone does that well, but members of this site show desire/dedication/care about how they do at school and thus many will do well.
-
errr. I just read the home page, there was no statement that EVERYONE got 90's, only that the REPORTED MEDIAN was 92.75
Anyway, back on topic pleaseeeee
-
what's double spacing?
leaving two lines for a paragraph or indenting?
Leaving a space between each line.

Is it really a coincidence that those motivated enough to participate in an online VCE forum tend to achieve great results?

6 context
6 text
5 language
did you double space?
nope, but did cross out a few lines.
-
I'm not completely sure but think I did 5-6 for all three. I didn't count though so dunno. Def. > 4 though so yeah
-
5 text response
5 context
4 language analysis
I have pretty big handwriting but overall I was happy with the amount I wrote.
-
Tell me that you all have huge handwriting. Please. Will my marks suffer horribly if what I wrote was of a high standard, just a bit on the short side?
-
as long as u make the word requirement/suggestions, you won't get penalised.
Which was about 800-1000 If I remember.
-
^^^Yes and No. depends how much on the "short side" it was?
double spaced:
8 text
6 context
6 analysis
i.e normal spacing =
4 text
3 context
3 analysis
That's reasonable.
-
Probably just over the 800, fingers crossed. I write about 500 per page and each was about (but not quite) 2 pages.

500 a page? You must have tiny writing
-
Yeah I do, but it's pretty clear. I'm also accounting for the wider spacing in the exam booklet, which always forces my writing to be a little larger.
-
it also depends on the size of your writing i wrote 2 for sec a which iwas teribly dissapointed with and 3.5 for section b and 3.5 for section c!!!
-
I wrote 8 for section a 7 for section b and 7 for language analysis.
-
3 -Text
2 -Context (Damn that Imaginative Landscape)
4 -Language Analysis
I get about 300 words on a page so I'll be lucky if I make 600 words on my context essay.
Damn. Damn. Damn.
-
7 Pages for Text Response - My favourite part of essay writing
3.5 for context
3.5 for language analysis.
No double spacing.
