Eight pages.. Annoying in a sense. Makes me feel like I wrote even less than I did. (13 pages..With semi-small writing. Grr..)

I was disappointed that they were so big in size. I thought they were going to be like half pages but they were practically as big as an A4 page. At least the lines were pretty spaced out!

i think the lines are too spaced out- its easier for the examiners but makes it heaps harder to write fast i reckon!!

I think there are different ones. We start off with 8, but for me when we ask for more books later in the exam they give us 4. Save paper i guess. Its a good idea, coz there are so many 8pg books of mine with only 1/2 a page of writing! But its good coz when i write 10 pages (all 8 pgs in Book1 [with 8 pgs total], then 2 pgs in Book 2 [with 4 pgs total]) i can say i wrote 1 1/2 booklets... he he he...

Reading over this it makes no sense.... well it does to me but for normal ppl i dont see it working... meh

The number of pages is written in big numbers on the front of every booklet,
our english ones were eight, but ofr every other subject, they were 4

Ok, I noticed that the first books they give you are smooth paper, heaps easier to write on, but when you ask for additional books the paper is coarse and harder to write on! Well that's how it was in both english exams at our examination centre. Grr!

I crushed a small spider that was on my text with my booklet.

Funny thing was, it was at the end when they said pens down and the supervisor saw me kill it.

mmmm....Squashed spider on the back of the booklet when they mark it!
