How to speed up essay writing

[_avO]

Sorry that was just my assumption, I thought they would read the intro first then periodically through the body so it correlates to what you write in the intro

i heard only lazy-in-it-for-the-money examiners read intro and conclusion first. The others give the whole thing a proper chance. I think all this speculation is just worsening the nerves.

4 dollars an exam paper, you better read the whole thing

There is no money in correcting VCAA exams. All VCAA employees are overworked and underpaid- perhaps something that should be factored when sitting exams (i.e. do not enclose love letters, bribes or write your exam in blood, because they're highly unstable and may snap after persistent abuse)

There is, I heard they get paid.

[Chavi]

But very little given the workload (according to some of the VCAA examiners that teach at my school)

[iffets12345]

yea, they usually do it for experience and to get an understanding of what examiners are looking for. My math teachers never do it LOL but the english ones do it. I think it's important for language teachers to do it.

Uh they do get paid, can't remember how much though per hundred exams :\ My teacher told me and then I forgot!

i think my teacher got paid 2k to mark 300 BM exams, but yeah it's mostly for experience for their students in the next years to come

[iffets12345]

lol, hence the maths teachers usually cbb, since after a while the marking scheme is always the same.

There's very little real money in marking essays, most of them are there because they're either teachers looking for experience or retirees looking for extra money

Would you know much are we expected to write per essay in the exam in order to do well?

"enough"

Word count is secondary to expressing your ideas and arguments appropriately

sometimes I get 9s with only 3 body paras.

I'm pretty sure I only ever wrote 3 content paragraphs in year 12 and I did fine.
