Prepared essay all up were= 3457
so add answering of the question and you get mid 3000's

n i no it quality not quantity

but i do believe that some people who write more just have mor eto say and have the opportunity to go further indepth.

it also depends on your style of writing
whether you are structured or flowly...

guess we just have to wait till dec 17th

its so far away

I wrote maybe 2500 all up, which is less than a lot of people I talked to. But I'm not worrying about it, I just blame being a slow writer on lefthandedness. ^_^

Yeah I wrote 1983 words. I spent most of the rest of the time counting exactly how many words I wrote, and not approximating, because that is time well spent.

I think the general consensus is that that is about right for each task. Might even be fine with 3000 per task, but it's taking a big risk.

lol there are 21 lines in a page (we used writing booklets for one of out exams for the trials, so i have one here).
and i wrote about 6 pages for each and about 1000 words each essay? might be a little less, but its quality not quantity that counts!

or you are poor and hence write 1000 words of crap

well obviously what you write can't be crap

writing 10000 words of crap won't get you anywhere

26 lines on a page.
i have long paragraphs, so ill assume that I used 22 lines on the page. I fit about 10-15 words per line, (miniscule writing) so thats

[22x10] x [4.75+4.5+4.75]
=220 x 14
= 3020
so somewhere between 3020 and 4530
guessing roughly 3600-3700.
