It does not matter how many pages you write its quality over quantity. Also various students have different size handwriting so obviously if you have larger handwriting = more pages.

It's difficult to say because the hardwriting size differs from person to person. However quantitatively I would say 800 - 1200 words.

bitch i did 20 for each of my paper 2 essays in trials come at me.

loljks i double spaced, go figure. I have ranged from 4 to 20 pages in my essays depending on how big i write, so page count doesn't matter. although one of the comments on my mod b was "try to be more concise in number of pages produced"... lolololol

Since my writing is so big. I tend to write about 15-23 pages per module for Trials.. (3 words a line lol), Im a pretty fast writer also and messy hehe. Markers are not too pleasant with it but they love my content.

I'd say 5-6 pages probs in 40mins.. (DESCENT HAND WRITING OKAY!!)

Nah.... smaller LOOL.. NOT THAT BIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll probably upload a page and show you guys.

My writing is messy but still VERY readible since its so big... I reckon wouldn't it be more flexible for the marker?? Cos small writing is often difficult and check the standards packages.. People have way way way worser and unreadiable writing than me.
