Orizio

Lord Oz

Agreed, history/business could well induce suicide.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

our exam hall was so hot that my hands were dripping of sweat from writing... i coulda wrote like another 10 pages if i could grip my damn pen and if all these dam ticks didnt keep on going all over my papers! i crushed lots of red ticks on my exam paper , hopefully the examiner will give me some pity lol

Faerie

Paper1: 1.5 + 2.5 + 2.5 +1 + 3.5 =11

Paper 2: 6.5 + 5.5 + 1.5 + 4 = 17.5

so 28.5 apparently...no wonder my hand is aching and I didn't even get paper 1 finished. I did question B in about 2 mins, it's not finished (it was just a page) and it was pretty shocking.

GrumPy

less than 20 in both papers added together, But I have small, sexual writing.

how can you have sexual writing?

you mean you write like a girl?

girls writing = uniformed, clean, neat, tidy
boys writing= messy, hard to read, babyish

ive got woeful handwriting, just about readable. but they say messy writing is a sign of intelligence

mang87

uh, 14?


wtf is this 24 ****?! :eek:

GrumPy

Dont generalise :rolleyes: we all know sexy girls have sexy writing, and fat girls have stupid writing, end.

NADA

People who write 30+ pages tend to be full of ****. YOu can get an a1 with 12 or 13 pages. My teacher told us and he's an experienced corrector.

Rockerette

eeeh, 9 in P1, 13 in P2, so 21 in total?

so what, you can't do well if you write a lot?

Garret

16/17 maybe

is 9/10 words per line small?

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

i do an average of 6 or 7 words per line, my writing is normal size

deisedolly

Think I did about 22 pages, who cares anyway? Any idiot can write 30pages of sh*ite, its quality not quantity!

smemon

it's true 14 pages could get you an A but unlikely.

if youve done the work your going to write as much as possible. if you havn't you'll be found wanting.

it's the acid test of how you perform in relation to everyone else imo.

Rob30888

About 20ish across the two. Those booklets were fooking huge :eek: Were they like that in the Junior Cert?

brid_m

12 paper 1 and 12 paper 2!! So 24 in total! And now my hand is killing me!

abercrombie

i have no idea...i didn't bother counting..as far as i'm concerned, i was finished..i didn't care how many pages i wrote!!

Funkstard

32 all together - 21 in paper 1!

didn't realise it until the end, 6 pages for my comparative, 1and a bit page for my unseen, 6 pages for my poetry and 7/8 pages for lear it must have been. i was writing on lear until the end so i didn't even get to check back over it..but i did a quick check and counted 21 pages.

iggyman

i wrote about 19 all together..how did you get more than 24 done like wat is going on there..

ehhhhh 11 and 10 about 21 ish?

If he studied then he deserves his A1, but some people who write that much, are bull****ters. Remember correctors have tons of exampapers to mark, and trying to find a coherent answer out of that many pages is gonna piss them off.

Haha I wish....I thought everyone did the same...just thinking now, ~4 pages for section A, ~2/3 for section B, 5/6 for the essay, 21 on paper 2 = yeh around the 30 mark.

I was so worried about my handwriting and the timing in paper 2...I just blitzed my comparative as soon as I got in there and that gave me a bit of time. Only did a page and a bit on my unseen though, my Bishop essay was fine, not A1 standard, and my Lear I think was fine but I didn't get to read back over it to see the standard. I just rambled basically until time was up.

EDIT: Oh and Smemon your tip about the masking tape around the biros helped me out more than you will ever know. Probably gave me an extra 15% in the exam, seriously

Inglorious

Did about 23 in total. Im quite content with that, hopefully will get me a B.

glad to be of service. it's a laugh hearing people complain about sweat and stuff.

i ain't gonna pay for those rubbery yolks. a gud ole bit a free masking tape does the trick just as well;)

you could also glue you hand to the pen either

Ballina boy

Im going to bore the poor bastard to death.

Glazun

I got like 22 or 21 done.. I have fairly small hand writting. I cut back a few things.. O_O its amazing how much I remembered in the last 10 minutes of paper 2.. just hope examiners understand the way I've added in quotes all over the place.. >_>;;

camroc

Just in case there's anyone panicking at the 30+ pages some people have written, I sat the Leaving Cert last year and I only wrote about six or seven pages on each paper and got a B. That was at higher level, so it is possible to get a decent grade having despite writing less than 15 pages in total.

EyeDeeOne

paper one = 7 pages
paper two = 10 pages max

Shrimp

Paper 1: 8 Pages + 1 Rough Work
Paper 2: 8 Pages + 1 Rough Work

Tellox

31 pages. I only stopped because my hand was in bits.

Attractive Nun

31 pages... my hand wouldn't hold up

Duddy
