For a 12 marker question

Hi, I'm currently studying English Lang A IGCSE. I've got my exams next month and I'm still kind of not sure how many paragraphs you have to write for a 12 marker question. Please don't tell me to ask my teacher, I'm homeschooling 😭

Its ok ^^ I did regular GCSE so I'm not sure how different IGCSE is, but my teachers recommended 3 paragraphs or 4 shorter ones. If you want you can look at exemplars to see how long theirs were, but often exam boards will exaggerate how good students answers are so take it with a grain of salt. Hope this helps!
