    Just wondering when it says 500-600 words do you get penalised for writing lots more than that?
    I wrote 3pages (my writing is small so I know it was more than enough)
    Only to come out of the exam to hear people speaking of 6,7 and 8 page essays!! :confused:
    Crazy imo :(

    I wrote 9 pages, maybe 10 words on each line. My teacher told me this is what to aim for.

    You're funny.

    I did 3 pages too, you're not going to need more than that.

    Apologies if I've got better expectations in life than you.

    I'm an examiner.
    3 pages = more than enough.
