How long do responses have to be - edexcel animal farm?

hey, i have the edexcel exam tomorrow - and i'm just wondering how long the responses should be... i know, it's late... i'm confident with the exam overall but not sure how long your answer should be for b/c/d part questions. I'll be able to talk to my English teacher before the exam tomorrow but if anyone can reassure me, that'd be great haha, I'm guessing about 4 points for each but i dont want to write too much, considering you have to spend around 15mins max on b/c/d... i've completed mocks at home because i've been ill - just a last minute panic. help!!

I mean the length for each question i.e. Does it have to be 3-4paragraphs for each... i have a general idea that it should be around 3 for 3 points, just need some assurance haha.

Haha, I've done that before. Question about deception f***** me over as I merely forget the meaning of it.

I can't even remember what I wrote... The significance of deceit in the novel... then I don't even know haha. I did it on a laptop (my English teacher spoke to the exams officer... because my handwriting is awful in exams!) I think it slowed me down though, but I suppose it's better than the examiner being unable to read it!! I do remember saying something about how deceit/deception leads to disempowerment. It's totally blank after that though haha.

I only did well on a) & b) talking about how Mollie is indirectly breaking the commandments by oversleeping and how 'overslept' connotes Man-like behaviour etc. I guess I've already lost 22 marks on not know what deception meant. What do you think you got and what would you be happy with. And it's cool how they let you on the computer, you could've just gone on google for reference?
