Achieving C Range
2
Length
C Range will tend to be at least 2 pages.
For a normal essay, you would need to write 1/2 page every 10 minutes.
Almost all students can write more than this.
Not writing more that 2 pages comes down to not having enough to say.
3
Length
Test yourself - practise handwriting
The goal is to have a lot to say AND to keep writing constantly. Even if you are not sure, just keep writing.
Remember: we are wanting to give you marks. Anything on the page can help you get more marks.
