english lang aqa paper 1 Q5

how long should my q5 creative writing be? like how many pages?

2.5-3 pages. dont write too much, I read in one of the examiners report the shorter the better for aqa anyway. and don't have too much plot in it either it could literally just be a guy crossing the street and buying a bagel

There is no strict page requirement but the typical recommendation is 2 pages - 600-800 words.

But writing more won't give you a better mark!! What matters to get grade 9 is to have a well-structured story. Make sure to plan your writing to include a clear introduction, development, and a strong conclusion, while also incorporating various narrative techniques to enhance your piece. You can use Tilf website to practice and see which mark you get.
