    Mine says two pages, but she's still working off the old syllabus. She wants us to do four page essays, like!

    On the sample paper it asked to talk about it under different headings in (i) (ii) (iii) format, my teacher said 1.25 - 1.5 pages approx. but now she's quite confused.

    I'm gonna try do it based on the Aiste marking. Aiste is 100 marks, 3 pages approx? Grand, one page for 33 marks. I think...

    Between 1 and a half to 2 a4 for both filíocht and prós... For those looking for an A has to be around 4 for Aiste .... but quality over quantity is still important. if 2 pages at least isn't written for the aiste ... you will not be marked on the full marking scheme ... thus will not achieve an A in it ...

    But don't the guidelines say that it's 2 1/2 maximum?

    Although French says about 90 words, and that's bullpoop
