Do you write faster when you gotta go toilet? (1 Viewer)

No I'm actually completely serious. Today was the first day in my life in which I actually finished my english paper (area of study) and did not need to keep writing even after the teacher said "Pens down".

Why??

Because I forgot to urinate before the exam.

I swear. I have never paced myself so much during an exam before. My hands were burning from my writing speed (I'm a very slow writer), and I just kept on going, all the meanwhile thinking "Damn I gotta take a piss!". Managed to get an 11 page essay down in around 40 mins-- my all time record!!

And the minute we were allowed out, I bolted for the toilet like a bat out of hell (accidentally taking out a year 8 kid in the process-- but it was a worthy sacrifice...)

Any of you guys ever experienced such a feeling?

You would write faster, however, the quality would deteriorate as you write.

If you're handwriting is obscenely huge, then still very unlikely.

Assuming 300 words a page, you're telling me you'd be able to write 82.5 WPM? That's faster than me typing casually, and I type at 115WPM.

Lets dumb it down to 250 worsd a page (which is I believe true). 68.75 WPM, that is solely writing non-stop without any rest and without thinking.

If it was 9-10, I'd say its possible but 11 is just ridiculous.

Lol that's funny. :p

I don't write faster if I need to go, coz we're not allowed to go and I'd get all nervous knowing I couldn't, lol.

in a 3 hour exam i have to piss twice, it doesn't make me write faster, it just makes me associate everything with how good that piss would be.

Course, but that means (a page has 33 lines) 6*33 = 198 words per page, disregarding spaces for paragraphs etc.

Whatever, I'm pretty much over it, 11 pages or 6 pages, its the content that matters.

i get to type for exams so haha :) i write heaps but i can't compare pages coz you can fit sooooo much more on a line than you poor writers.
yeah except i don't envy you at all and strongly question the myth that typing gives you any kind of decent advantage, so yeah i'll throw one big "who the fuck cares" your way.
