If you've actually noticed, if you're able to crap on and half know what you're on about and the thing makes sense, then markers look favourably towards that. That's what i meant about the rule of thumb being quantity over quality, since you can get more marks for doing a crappier essay than someone who's done a better essay yet wrote jackall pages. Of course it SHOULD be quality over quantity, but unfortunately it's not.

D'oh.

I assumed everyone doing Ext Eng did at least 5-6 pages minimum per response, with those exceedingly confident writing 10+ (normal A4 paper).

Well I wrote about 14 pages for the first essay...still only talked about 2 supp and 2 related texts though. And since I came up with those pages spur of the moment, no I don't know how that worked out! I wrote significantly less for the second question (creative writing), about six pages or so, but oh well...

Am i the only one who thought q1 was gay, i couldnt structure my info properly and and put in my good points and essays are what im best at. I always plan to go longer for an essay and spend about 40mins for creative writing. I would have liked it beta if they broke q1 up into each elective and asked questions like that, instead of one generic genre question.

but one of the dot points you are marked on is that you can "sustain an extended composition"
