How many words can you write in a ~50 minute test?

10 pages. um I'd say about 2000 words or so. Running writing, big messy font lol right handed. Depends on if I've memorised what I'm writing or thinking along the way. U can max out a lot of words.

Haha sure nick. 2000 words is a lot. Look at the exemplar essays for english and they are only about 1000-1200 words, in 40 mins.

 

[wrong_turn]

that'd be bloody brilliant if you could write about 2000 words, but yes it doesn't seem all that credible.

personally i think i can write about 1000-1500 depending on topic. i write right handed, with sloping half running and half printing. but i've been told that its quite hard t read. but it amounts to about 2 pages or one and a half pages long.

i can do ONLY 5 A4 pages (right handed)

In my HSC Economics exam i wrote a 13 page essay in about 50 minutes...but the booklets they use are tiny and I wrote the essay almost completely from memory, since I had practised a similar question the night before the exam.

I can't really do running writing, most my shit is just single letters, but ~5-6 pages

5-6 pages is alright as long as your essay is quality. The markers always prefer quality over quantity.

Running writing, left-handed...about 8 pages...don't know how many words though.

 

[withoutaface]

I could only do 700ish words, but it was all quality

 

[KFunk]

Most I've ever done was 13 pages for a pre-prepared essay. I have big writting but it was still a lot. I don't think my hand stopped moving that entire test.

EDIT: Right handed.

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

i can probably only do about 5 pages in 50 mins but my writing is small. it gets progressively messier as the essay goes on, like its neat as pin at the start and almost illegible at the end. oh and im right handed

 

[~ ReNcH ~]

About 1100-1200 words in 40 mins - it was around 116 lines @ 9-10 words per line.
Some of the guys at my school claimed to have written about 1600-2000 words, but I don't know how that can be done in 40 mins whilst keeping it neat...I wish I could write 1600 words in 40 mins - that'd be great, but probably difficult to sustain for 2 hours in Paper 2.

I can only seem to write about 800 words max without thinking (eg just writing out a memorised essay etc), somehow the effort required for every word after that becomes exponential...

I'm right handed and write pretty neat for exam conditions.

Around 1000 or so, give or take a few depending on what I'm writing about and what subject it's for. I write fairly small, around 12 words a line I'd say. (I'm right handed).

 

[Tommy_69]

im using a computer so about 2000 words

 

[wrong_turn]

my words are tiny, thats why its so damned messy. i have an average of about 13-15 words on each line.

good on the exemplar... I've done it for eco and then after that shoved my hand in a freezer for a lil while.

 

[wrong_turn]

maybe it is possible. never disregard the impossible until it has been proven wrong.

Hmm i'm not sure how many words I actually rite but the most I rote in my 40 min English Exam was about 10 pages, on a booklet sized page and in an hour in my ext exam i rote 23 pages- i was just on a freaking roll.
