    5 points
    28 linking phrases
    About 6 pages ..
    Is that the norm or whatever?
    I actually haven't a clue of any of this.

    I really hope you're in 6th. I've yet to do some, and I'd feel better if I wasn't the only one

    Count up how many comparisons you have all together, if you have about at least 10 then your ok. Remember comparing things within the same text warrant no marks, my teacher said its amazing the amount of people who do it!:)

    Make sure you time your answer! 6 pages sound like a lot but you might not end up making that much in time for the actual paper. Give or take about 20 minutes given you could either be writing furiously or needing time to think on the day.
