    and, because they are so long ( large? ) they are in no way representative of what you can be expected to achieve.

    So….forget about trying to get anywhere close to that length.

    Instead, ask yourself “How much can I write in 13 minutes?” ( remember, you’ve spent 5 minutes planning what you’re going to write! )

    Ok, 13 minutes. 10 marks. 10 points, 13 minutes? 10 points? So how much are you going to write to score one point? How much can you write in 1.3 minutes? One minute 18 seconds? Try it.

    I suggest no more that 2.5 lines per point. Maximum of two ( short ) sentences

    Now ask me again …. how much should I write to score maximum marks in F4?

    As much as you can in short sharp sentences …. making 10 different, relevant, markable points ….. in no more than 13 minutes ……having spent 5 minutes planning what you’re going to write.

    How can I possibly answer your question? If you’re a slow writer – say one word per minute – then you need to be writing 13 words.

    If however you write a lot faster, say 60 words a minute, then you need to be writing 780 words.

    Hope that’s helpful!
