    I'm always confused about how much to write on Irish paper 2! How much would you need to write for a 25 mark question on prose? How much for a 40 mark question on An Triail? How much for a 15 mark question on poetry?

    I'd prefer if you could tell me how many words to write instead of how many lines/pages because I have small handwriting.

    All help is appreciated, even if you can just give a rough estimate.

    Good question, I'm interested to see what people say.
    I usually write an exam booklet page for 15 markers, one and a half for 25 markers, and 2 for 40 markers. (I don't know how many words that would be!) Although usually it just depends how much I have to say/how much time I have!

    I've given my rule loads of times here before, but I'll say it again:):

    I always wrote 1 page for 12 marks in paper 2. People will vary slightly, but I think that the 12marks= 1 page is a good enough rule of thumb.
