How many words can you write in a 40min essay?

 

[-may-cat-]

Most i ever managed was just over 1200. It hurt.

 

[nirvanafreak02]

1100-1200 on average

About 800 comfortably... Should be about 6 HSC exam pages which is the expected quantity as stated on BOS.

yay. slow writers represent. i hate how it is a test of physical ability rather than knowledge.

900-1200, but its illegible.

Hence why I was awarded extra time + laptop

I pulled off 800 words in 30 min so I guess I can pull off about 1050 in 40 min perhaps?

 

[veloc1ty]

~800-900 words, about 5 booklet pages. Depends highly on how much I have to think though. I wrote 6 pages in 50 minutes for EX1 creative because I had a story in mind, and only 5 pages in 70 minutes for the analytical because I suck. <_<

 

[Kujah]

Around 1200~ words.

 

[sonyaleeisapixi]

I get about 6 words a line on an A4 sheet of paper.

like 38 lines on the A4 sheets we write on

in 40/5 minutes i write something like 7-8 pages

so on average like 1500+?

in extension english and history, with an hour i can write 10 pages.

For those who get around 1200, how does your handwriting turn out?

 

[sonyaleeisapixi]

I'll scan a sample if you maycat.

My handwriting is fairly ok.
