answering the papers ?

how much are ye writing in the answer books espiecally in stuff like science where there is almost no space on the page for your answers?

Science has plenty of space, and there's even a blank page at the end if you need more space, which you generally wouldn't.

Errrr I'll be using them for every subject except French, Science and CSPE. If you mean how much I'm going to write in them...errr, hopefully a lot.

Firstly, Ill just say I have tiny writing, i fit approximately 20 words to a line on an a4 page, so maybe take these figures with a pinch of salt
I tend to use a lot of answer books over the course of the exams
-For Maths in the mocks I used 3 answer booklets (Paper 1 + 2)
-For English i used about 4 for paper 1, plus 3 of the smaller supplementary ones, and for paper 2 i used 5 big ones ( i think?)
-For science I didn't use any, but i did need the extra space at the end for a good few questions, especially the experiment ones.
-For Home ec. I used 3 answer booklets
-For Spanish I used a page in one because my letter didn't fit (does anyone else think its weird that o.l gets 2 pages for the letter supplied, and h.l only gets one, even though they have to write more points? its always confused me XD)
-For Irish I used 2 booklets per paper
-For History I used 4 booklets
-For Geography I used 3
So in total I used: 27 Booklets round about

How many pages were in your booklets? :eek: We got 8-page ones, which had seven pages for writing...
I used two for both English papers, one for each Irish paper, one for Home Ec, two for History, one each for Business but they were special booklets, one for Geography, two each for maths...which wasn't a huge amount in comparison. :pac:

Yeah my booklets were the same

There is no need to be writing enormous amounts in History. It's actually very annoying as a corrector to have the 8 SRSs corrected maybe in the first half page of a question and then have to plough on through a further page or more because you have to mark everything that is written.

I have corrected many History papers where just three pages were used for the non-booklet questions and the candidates still got A grades.

It's not about how much you write it's what you write.

If two lines are left for an answer, then that's what is expected.
