You are meant to write 4 essays, with 1 and a half to 2 sides per essay

Remember
Quality not quantity

Cambridge has sed that it is possible to get an A* with one and a half side

Yeah for me its three papers... hmm

We do Crucible and Lord of the Flies. Any of u do them? And if so what question did u choose. I didnt leak anything..just say whether u did star or which?!

Also, i wrote 11 pages..only because I couldnt fit it all in one. Ours was 2 hours and 30 minutes or sometihng. But my hand is now like limp and dead... hahah

Sure, 5.5 sides is enough. As long as you've answered the questions properly... I wrote about 6 sides.
What topics did you guys do?

I had Richard, Lord of the Flies and Songs of Ourselves.
(Empathic, empathic and caged bird.)

I'm hoping everyone answered a star based question?

2 hours 30 minutes? Isn't the exam supposed to be 2 hours 15 minutes?

Im pretty sure i was answering the question...
I just had alot to say! And we've been trained so much.
I guess the grade will only tell, but If i managed my time, and i personally feel like i wrote an acceptable essay and answered the question thorougly.. why is that a problem?
We have never been told that were only allowed to write one and a half pages..I mean how do u fit everything???
And i have big writing -.-
