What is your record page count in 40 minute exam? (1 Viewer)

[SPX]

What is your current record for number of pages written in a 40 minute exam or assessment...considering it is an extended response or essay. When I get my paper I always write as fast as I can but it ends up pretty messy but readable, and in 40 minutes the other day for Business Studies I wrote a record 11 pages in 40 minutes under exam conditions in class.

So how many do you write. I here the average is like 4 pages or somethin.

In the HSC I wrote 12 pages in 40 minutes. It's hard to generalise about the average because the lines you write on may be bigger than usual (for example in the HSC booklets)

I did 13 for my Lear essay. Not that it matters

pages is not a fair indication ... i write around a maximum of 1000 words in 40 minutes ...

I'm gonna have to do some hand exercises! I don't think I've ever written that much and I write pretty big!

Are you doing the HSC in 2003 "blah says she"?

I'm gonna have to do some hand exercises! I don't think I've ever written that much and I write pretty big!

You get used to writing a lot in a short space of time. When you know you have to write 3 essays in 2 hours you are forced to write a lot, and think quickly.

hand exercises - just write as much and as often as you can ... and youll be able to write a lot and fast when you need to ...

What the hell!! That Ravo chick Stressed02 wrote 47 pages in an exam, however long it was....dam, how much would your hand hurt, the intensity, the concentration, drowned out atmosphere, head ache and the content. Holy crap, that has to be some kind of record. You maim are a freak!

i get too bored to write too much, im like, "ive heard all this before, why do i need to repeat myself for the 3000th time since i started studying this course"

The 8 pages that got 2/25 must of been mental vomit on the page.
