ammyyyyyyy1116 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Hi, I'm taking geography hl, and my teacher told us that for the essay questions in paper 1,2,3, we have to write 750-1000 words. Is this true? Because I searched and I didn't see this requirement in guide or other geography website. Thanks for answering, this concerns me a lot.

deftdog18 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) No, there isn't a min/max word limit in any of those Geography papers. It's probably a general guideline set by your teacher, and it's about right. Edited April 11, 2016 by deftdog18 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably a general guideline set by your teacher, and it's about right. This is very true. But just to add, I think you should think of it more in terms of a time limit than a word limit. Write as much as you can in the the time you have available. I found the following times were an approximate guide: Paper 1: 35-45mins Paper 2: 25-30mins (per essay) Paper 3(A): about 25mins Paper 3(B): about 35mins Note, compared to the marks they are worth, I dedicated a disproportionately large amount of time to the essays. That was what I found was best, but isn't the objectively best way for everyone.. I also answered the short answer questions for paper 2 before the essays (i.e. I answered the 3 essays last, so I knew how much time I could dedicate to each). 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
