thats 9 books all up for those of you who can count


thats 83 pages divide that by 120 (minutes)

120 / 83 = 1.44578313253012048192771084337349 pages a minute!!!

i think the calculations are right (i do do general maths) if so thats insane!

I was chattting to a senior marker and she was saying that they get told to stop reading after 13 pages becuase if you write any more than that than you are not being concise, and they mark you down. Sorry for all those people who apparently who 38 pages.

Yeah i began touch typing for IT last year, and have since quit but continued typed all my work and now im at a nice 90 wpm. I got a special provision because BOS agreed with my teachers that my handwriting could not be read.

Though i am a little disappointed, i was put in a room with a bunch of noobs who finished after 30 mins and spent the rest of the time talking about and fixing the printer. In addition the room i was in was right next the a main walkway in our school and during recess/between periods it was unreasonably noisy. For this i am really pissed of at my school, though you should note i only got 2 hours of sleep last night and as a result am pissed of at everybody.

Edit: Oh yeah and i better add Spellcheck and such was disabled, oh and yeah so was copy and paste which really irritated me because i coulnd edit my work

(120 minutes)/(83 pages) = 1.45 minutes per page. :)

How can a person write tooooooo slow, i mean stroke by stroke or something?
And about the comment on how markers r told to stop reading after 13 pages......well, i think there's some consideration, eg. how large ur writing is, how much crossing out u did, how many lines u skipped....i mean someone could write over 1200 words in 8 pages but eg. me i used over a booklet about 14 or so pages for a question and i could prolly write only about 1000 words or so...........i mean if they stop at 13 pages then thats stupid .... i think more like 25 or smthng..........ure prolly trying to scare us.

hahaha yeah i write 1200 words in 8 pages... all my essays are about that on the computer and all of them ended up 8 pages in the exam...
weird how someones writing can make their essay like 6 pages longer even though really it is the same in quantity
