Correlation between Length and Score?

<p>I know this topic has been debated many times and that the conclusion always seems to be that longer essays tend to have better scores.</p>

<p>That being said, do you think that filling up 1.5 pages is enough for 9 - 10 score (given up on 12 by now :()?</p>

<p>The longer it is, the more you'll score...</p>

<p>should've written bigger :O</p>

<p>I wrote to the last line this time around. I didn't really use any history or literature as examples, but "observations" as it states in the prompt. Hopefully this won't cause me to get less than an 10 on the essay.</p>

<p>That's nice. Does anyone have any responses to <em>my</em> question?</p>

<p>(Sorry, Solsek, I've got to ship you out of this thread:))</p>

<p>yeh ajkcorner1, with 1.5 pages u can get a 9 or a 10. At least I got one on the Nov test. and believe me, I write really big letters.</p>

<p>Thanks no_novice. I feel a bit better now!</p>

<p>I wrote very small and wrote 1.5 pages. I think there is an element of correlation between how much you write and how highly you score, but I would hope that the test markers look more at number of words not just, 'oooooh only one page, slap a 4 on that'</p>

<p>Quality is important too, of course. A two page turd will not get a 6!</p>

<p>do we find out our essay grades on february 15 or just our scores out of 800</p>
