Haha true. I consider it an achievement that I actually eventually read all of Heart of Darkness which bored me to tears while I was supposed to read it for IB and never actually finished it for IB. I really didn't feel any better for having read HoD. I have a passionate dislike for that book, even though I understand all the fuss around it and why people consider it great literature (and it is).

Possibly my greatest display of masochism must had been to plough through the entire Twilight series.

In all seriousness? I don't really pay attention to how long the book is, because if it's a good book (by which I mean I enjoy it and get really into it) then I would get through it in one night if I have that time. So the long and short of it is that I don't remember what the longest book I ever read was.

The OP is asking whether IB examiners mark down, and according to their policy they should not, unless they absolutely can't understand what you're talking about because of spelling mistakes.

That is the single most ridiculous thing I've ever heard regarding IB.

Not to mention,

Anyway, even if you did badly in one essay, you did decently in Paper 1 and the other essay and your IA you'll be fine. In a few years you wouldn't care less.

Yes that's the one! I think I called it the Luthanasia :blush:

Haha true, you should be more worried that they might not be able to recognise the letters to realise you spelt it wrong :P

Yes but I meant, right after the exam, the invigilator will check your paper and then is allowed to fill it in. But as long as the pages don't go missing, it's fine.
