I'm a really slow writer. I don't know how many words 2.5 pages of my handwriting would be, but that would be what I'd roughly manage in 40 mins.

but it kinda depends on what i'm writing...
It could be an analytical essay, either prepared or not prepared or a creative writing, either prepared or not prepared...

Well our advance teacher says that we should do minimum 1000 in 50 minutes, and for HSC minimum 1200... Currently I can write about 1000 in 50 minutes... if i'm prepared that is, 40 minutes maybe 700-800?

wow this is pretty intersting. apparently our teacher said some shit like they got a guy to copy out an essay in 50 mins and he only hit about 1.5k words

i got a 50 minute test and my prepared essay is about 1.4k already. hopefully i can write fast

40 minutes, I can probably do 800-900 words, but if I've practiced the essay 1000 words is pretty easy. It's about 6 pages of my writing.

by the time you hit hsc, you should be aiming for at least 1000 words in 40 minutes (that's non-prepared). I did ~1100-1200.
