How can you print so quickly?
I can only manage ~1250 with running writing in 40 mins.

And 2 booklets? Wouldn't that be around 4 words per line?

people in my maths class should have no problem in this area, since we write constantly all lesson for 70 mins!!

That's coz:
a) BOS booklet paper has 20 lines vs the 40 lines on standard lined A4 paper.
b) Some people have jumbo writing i.e. 5 words per line. I can fit anywhere from 12-14 words per line, but in the HSC I'll try and write about 7-8.

Yea...and that poses as a problem of sorts at my school, coz the booklets my school uses have 30-line pages. My teachers (not realising this) expect us to fill 1 8-page booklet, which is actually about 1.5 times as much as we'd need to write in the final HSC exam.

well as you learn how to write left handed, you follow the same procedures. that is why i can write legibly enough, and also write qucik enough, in a way that i can write in a decent amount of time. however, you just follow the same actions, nonetheless.
you must be a lefty
aint much ambi ppls around :)

You should definatel;y aim for at least 1 page every 10 minutes, so for 50 minutes, aim for a minimum of 5 pages, unless of course you run out of things to write, which has happenend to me on more than one occasion.

Left or right handed:
Cursive (Running Writing) or otherwise:
I can write 7-8 pages of BOS writing booklet, and i'm right handed with printed writing.

I am in the middle of my trials right now...I usually write 4-6 A4 pages for essays, although for Modern I used 8 in the National Study section. My writing's kinda half cursive and half printing...Don't have time to care really.
Right handed.
I never finish my essays though! Aaargh how annoying...In my King Lear essay for Paper 2, the last words i got to write were "In conclusion,"

Lol OMFG, I can only write 2.5~3 pages in 40 mins, so I can prolly only get to around 3.X pages in 50 mins x.x;

My writing's very small tho; I tend to be able to effortlessly write 14~15 words per line. Dunno if that makes up for my small page numbers >.>; Lol, I can white out an entire sentence with one stroke of white out, provided that all the letters are ones that stay in the middle section of a line. (Like a's, o's, r's etc) Maybe I should host a pic of my writing size XD So the soze of my writing could make up for my low page count. Then again, I tend to write bigger in exams since I'm rushing, so I dunno; I just suck at Eng, I guess XD
