    Hi,
    At the current time I am studying poetry. I am studying an tEarrach Thiar and I am wondering how many words should a 15 Marc answer be? I know It is a 30 mark question but going back through the years it looks like the question is broken up.
    Taking the P1 essay into account (500-600 words) for 100 marks, am I wrong to gauge the 15 mark poetry question for about 90 words max?
    I don't like going by page lengths because the exam paper booklets are a lot smaller than a refil pad page and everyone's writing is different.
    I am currently doing out a question on a theme in the poem and it's for 15 marks!
    Please help! .thanks :)

    What I typically done was that 5 marks = one quarter of the page. So, for example, if it were 10 marks I'd write half a page and if it were 15 marks I'd write three quarters of a page (A4 pages that is).
