I know its quality over quantity and all that, but how many pages do you usually write for paper 1? :biggrin:

I've seen people who write about 15 and people who write 5 so have no idea

The paper that we get in the exam has quite big margins and big lines, my teacher said we should write about 8-10 sides depending on our writing size :smile:

I used to write 3 - 4 double sided pages but thanks to the new teacher this year we haven't written ANY essays :smile:

except world lit... so now I can't finish it only comes with practice..

I only write about 3-4 sides, sometimes I run out of time and sometimes I run out of stuff to say- depending on the passage

prose or poem guys?

Prose!

I don't know how to analyze poetry at all, so I'm sticking with the prose and not looking at poetry :s-smilie:

I'm really worried about English – I have chem, history and English A1 at my HLs and I need 766, but I have a feeling I'll be getting 775 (5 in English :s-smilie:

)

haha we did 2 English mock exams and our teachers forced us to try one poetry and one prose, and although I had NO IDEA what the poetry was about, I got higher marks on the poetry than on the prose!

but I'm sticking to prose!!

ahhh good luck <3
