    It doesn't matter.

    Focus on Paper 2 and stop wasting your time analysing the paper.

    I'm not even going to say because it's completely irrelevant to how it will be marked. No point comparing sizes, boys ;)

    It should be around about what you should be aiming for, writing more doesn't mean you'll get a better grade. Writing more means a bigger chance you wrote a load of waffle.

    6 and a bit :)

    Quality not quantity.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 372 ✭✭Patriciamc93


    about 8.


  • Registered Users Posts: 215 ✭✭BrendaN_f


    8 pages


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 494 ✭✭PJelly


    My writing is massive, and messy. So this isn't really comparable to everyone.
    But I did 4 on question A. Two and a half on B. And about six and a half on my essay.
    But its quality, not quantity.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 30 Catacomb


    Question A:

    (i) 1 1/4
    (ii)1 1/4
    (ii)1 1/2

    Question B:

    2 1/6

    Short story:

    7 4/5

    :rolleyes: But noone can compare because nobody knows my writing size.


  • Registered Users Posts: 181 ✭✭ChristinaIndigo


    14 pages in total.... :rolleyes:

    I know it could end up seeming like waffle, but, I'm known for writing way too much. Still usually end up with good grades though, so, hopefully it does still seem like quality...

    My poor examiner though.. :o

    EDIT: Writing is average sized too by the way.... feeling less convinced about it being quality though, the more people that say they only wrote about 7/8....

    Nah I liked it. Comprehensions were grand, I really liked number 3, it was quite interesting.

    And there was enough variety in the essays....a mystery is a fairly basic short story, the modern fairytale is a bit more tricky, I'll admit. I didn't look at any of the others but apparently there was an essay on technology which would seem handy enough too.

    I did 8 and a bit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 882 ✭✭✭fulhamfanincork


    Went through so many booklets that they had to cut down the trees outside and turn it into paper immdeiately.

    I was also writing so fast that i set the script and table on fire a couple of times.

    I think you're the only one. Most people think it was the easiest paper yet. I'd say I will be lucky to get a C though.
