I don't understand how you guys can write so much.. I have trouble getting 1k words out under 40 minutes... I like to keep all my essays limited to maximum 2 booklets, so ~1k, it shows the markers I can summarise my ideas efficiently and cuts down on my waffle... Granted I did about 5 pages for the essay, and i fit 9 - 10 words on average on a line.

1k words in 40 minutes is ridiculous, for me anyway. That's an average of 1 word every 2.4 seconds.

For the people saying they wrote stuff like 6, 6, 6 and 4, 5 ,7 and whatever, around 18 pages, lets assume you write 9 words per line, and we'll also assume were 20 lines per page (anyone know how many there actually were?)

That's 3240 words, 1 word every 2.2 seconds. You have got to be fucking kidding me? Surely I've over compensated for the amount of lines in the booklet / the amount of words you guys are writing per line because that is ridiculous. If you can write that fast you must practice a fair bit.

*Disclaimer: These figures are likely completely random and inaccurate but I'm just trying to get an idea here of how god damn fast you people write.

should be enough, it's more than I wrote for trials which got me 39/45

I had 6 for Section I, 6 for section II and 7 for Section III. It's due to factors of writing size and how well you know what you are writing. My English teacher told me that when I'm writing one sentence I should already know the next two sentences that I'm going to write. It seems to work.

[EDIT] Keep in mind it's not just about quantity - if someone wrote 8 pages of bullshit it's still shit for marks.
