    a great guide to every aspect of irish grammar can be found at http://www.nualeargais.ie/gnag/gram.htm
    it's technical in parts, it's actually written by a german man i think, but it covers everything in detail. (you'd need to understand some of the english grammatical terms too though)

    Learn off generic phrases you can use in any aiste, there's probably some in your book. They might sound a bit boring but that's what they give you marks for. Use some seanfhocail too, use one at the end of the aiste for your conclusion.

    My teacher told us 3 pages 3 lines as a guideline.
    But then again quality over quantity.
    I got 4, 4 1/2 pages in my mocks. made a few mistakes and only got 70/100.
    Although that was fairy rough I think. They underlined my mistakes, about 6-7 and only got 10 out of 20 for my ideas even though I had 3 key points and a solution. :/

    500-600 words is the recommended amount I think

    My teacher says around 2 1/2 pages although because it is a mixed ability class and there are only around 4 high b/a standard people, she regularly brings down our level. I think it says on the papers to write 500-600 words. I have written essays that are around 2 1/2 pages which have gotten As by her but have probably been more like 900 words. The last essay I wrote was 2 1/4 pages and it was over a thousand words!

    My teacher advises 2 pages to be safe. However if you are aiming for a high mark he advised 2.5-3 pages.
