How long should an answer be on a Q4(people in history) on history paper?

leemurta

I was just wondering, and I know that its about what is in it aswell but generally what would it be?

I have a revision book and I looked up an answer for medieval knight it only shows how to become a knight, and is very short(just over half a page)
But for George washington I have over 1 and half pages.

Oh and would be very helpful if mabye someone could tell me a site where I can get some sample answers for Knight or Mastercraftsmen in medieval times.

Thanks.;)

3/4's of an A4 page, I think.

yup as long as you get your 8 SRS in and it's written well...each factual point is 2 marks so 8x2=16 then theres 4 marks for how well its written..4 for excellent, 3 for v.good and so on

You could write 3 pages or half a page - all depends on the SRS's. Get your 8 in the account and you're set, it doesn't matter the length.

For example you could waffle on and on about a particular topic until you've filled a page but it's only one point so you've ended up wasting time.

My teacher told me around 25 lines would suffice, but that it doesn't actually matter once you've got your eight SRS's and your answer is well structured.

Exactly. Long enough to answer the question.
