Title: Exam paper?
Post by: WhoTookMyUsername on October 14, 2012, 08:05:30 pm
What is the exam paper like? As in the quality of the paper. Is it standard A4, reasonably hard? or softer like lined paper?

Thanks :D

Nah, it's hard enough. Like the GAT paper.

LOL

It's probably a little stiffer than normal, a little larger than A4 in width, and there are only like 20 lines per page.

Keen haha :P

Can you get a copy? My teacher has copies.
If you can't get a copy I can send you the paper I wrote mine on or something.

Bazza is Mr.Serious! May sound dumb, but preparing for little things such as this can make a world of difference. I know that I was pretty surprised with the exam booklets we got, particularly since it isn't the normal A4 size so it was hard to gauge how much I had actually written.

My teacher said that it's the first year where all three sections are in one whole writing booklet and that they're scanning it to mark. I would write with a good dark pen in that case.
I agree, it's probs like GAT paper with the borders around it.

Do they physically scan every single page onto a computer? How tedious would that be?

Dunno, could be one of those special machines. I know that for some photocopying machines, you can just put a stack of paper into it and it picks up every single paper.
