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

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

    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 )

    yes my name is susan!

    I do hope we both meet our offers and then we'll be best friends at King's <3

    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

    Anyone knows about the crazy music exam length? My Music HL Exam is THREE HOURS LONG, with 3 essays and 4 essay plans.

    Right after SL Maths P2 too.
