lol it depends if you aim for grade a then write about 3-4 pages but major marks are given for specific content always write the specific you can highlight it too the 16 marks i told is based on scientific content that has the major chunk


relevance and communication gets you 3 marks each lol its not actually depended on number of pages:smile: hope it helps

Yh, the maximum is 25 but what I think Megh12 meant was that the top students generally get around 16. My teacher said that the average students tend to get 12 marks whilst the A* students get around 16-17. And how can you get 20+ easily?
