JSK 252

Just wondering about this. it seems to me that teachers have different opinions of how much to write fior eg . english essay at least 2 A4 pages which is around 3 exam booklet pages.Some say less some say more.Just for curiosity how much do ye write for say poetry higher level. I write around 2 and a half pages on average. Also Irish essay and litir how much do ye write.

Just post in about how much in any subject. Thanks.

Is an exam booklet page not the same as an A4 page? I treated it the same... I mean, the spacing is bigger but there are no margins on exam booklet pages.

But yes, I'd say about a page per 20 marks. So a poetry question, that's like... 30 marks isn't it? Write.. ah, write two pages to be safe. I wrote about 2 pages for them all in mine if I recall.

For Irish, Litir is.. two pages, a little less. I mean, you've got all the addresses and stuff taking up space, along with your introduction and closing paragraphs which tend to always be the same, so you've only got to write about a page of original stuff.
Essay... about one and a half pages, I think.

With English you should kinda know when you've written enough. Just make sure you got the message across.

But anyway, the page per 20 marks in a pretty good guide. That's about what I do...
