What The:
Cannot finish compo in time is more of a time-mgt issue than teachers setting a tough paper.janet88:
most schools set extremely out of the box questions for prelims...a teacher friend told me even neighbourhood schools set maths papers which make students cry after the exam.
DD classmate cried when she couldn't finished her compo in time.
Poor kids - too stressful.
I think the tough paper scenario would be more like Maths in which there are some super difficult questions that take up the students' time if they don't remember to skip the question then come back later. A few of those types of questions in in Paper 2 would eliminate many many marks. -
Zappy:
the child could be at a loss which compo question to attempt...ended up insufficient time to complete.

some kids are stressed when their classmates keep asking for paper! so please teach your kids to ignore and focus on their own exams.

I used to be one of those who keep asking for papers. Not because I wrote a lot but I kept writing wrong introduction and do not want to waste time using correction tape. LOL -

imagine the exam scripts stacked tightly on top of each other? the tape which is used to cover mistakes will be stuck and what should not been seen is revealed.
some kids are stressed when classmates around them keep asking for paper and they are at a loss whether they are writing sufficient for compo. -

a) they realized they wrote wrongly, perhaps out of point, so ask for more papers from invigilator to re-write,
b) they genuinely have a lot to describe in greater detail, have a lot to write, hence requested for more papers -

If it's (b), better to have practiced writing at that speed. Otherwise if run out of time, it'd be a worse-off situation.2 reasons why students keep asking, for more papers during composition / zuowen exam
