One of the things that helped my write faster was folding the booklet over so that I was only writing on top of 1 page. I find that writing on top of a whole booklet slows my pen down. Also writing illegibly can help :)
Yup, I'm all for illegibility. I don't write, I scrawl. My teacher reckon I'm going to lose at least 5% of my marks due to my illegibility. Haha, the markers just have to deal with it.

Lmao! Gosh I didn't even have time to count how many pages, but then again haha at the end of the exam I was like wayyyy too tired to count the number of pages I had, though all I know is that I did:

Module A: 1 & 1/2 booklets
Module B: 1 full Booklet
Module C: 1 full booklet.

soo, hopefully it went alright :rolleyes: The craziest person in our school's module exam had this guy writing 9 booklets...lol the BOS lady there was like..whoaa close to the record..

Module a: Hamlet n ros n guil, i wrote 7 pages.
Module b: Wuthering heights, (5- but i only left 25 mins for that section! kind of annoyed)
Module c: Frontline, 8 pages (filled up the book!!)

pretty proud over all i think i went way better than AOS i hate AOS!!!! GRRRRRRRRR! yea i still have extension as well! then bye bye english till 4eva (or at least till uni! lol). For whoever asked - the booklets have 8 pages, n for whoever rote rosencrants and guildenstern out heaps of times, u could have abbriviated to ros n guil, i know they say its better not to but the markers say u dont get marked down for it, only prob is that it disturbes the flow of your argument. in the case of ros n guil this doesnt apply(in my opinion) as the names are abbreviated in the play as well and since it would kill you to write out out rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead eveytime u wanted to refernce the play (i abreviated to RAGAD) but pointed out my abbriviation at the beggining of my essay.

BNW/BR - 7 (40mins)
Lear - 5 (Ran out of things to say really. I made the point, talked about productions/readings, and I finished :|) (35mins)
Frontline + Related - 6 (45mins

So all up, 18. My writing is pretty small though.

NO MORE ENGLISH!!!! WOOHOO!

My hand almost fell clear off... actually i would have preferred it to have fallen of, im in a ridicuoous ammount of pain. Spasms anyone?

Module A - 11
Module B - 12
Module C - 11

I think i got in about 1400 words per module, so I'm quite content.
I would have liked more time for bloody Frontline however...

A booklet each (8 pages)

I did Hamlet/R&G, Wuthering Heights, Frontline (+related)

Although with the Frontline one, towards the end my writing is just impossible to read, I think; too small and illegible.

typed:
2 pages BNW/BR,
3 pages Frontline
3 pages King Lear

overall, pretty happy :)
Yup, typed I did:

A: 3
B: 2.5
c: 2.5

I think that works out a shade over 4000 words. Plenty, in my opinion - keyboard was flat 'cause someone had broke the supports and my wrists hurt.

I usually do about 11 typed for a full legal studies exam, so tomorrow may involve bleeding.

I wrote:
Emma/Clueless: Two full booklets - as in, I wrote two sentences in the last line because I had 5 minutes until the end and couldn't wait for another booklet.
King Lear : 5 pages.
The Fiftieth Gate: 14 pages - so a book and a half.

I think I did really well, I'm really happy with how todays exam went! :)

Haha, I agree! I wrote "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" and it filled up the entire line! At the rate I was going, I would have written 3 booklets for it. So I shortened it to "RAGAD" (though that was the plan anyway). 8 pages? Oooh, that means I wrote about 11 or 12 each for both Modules A and C! With the exception of Module B where I wrote 8.
