[iBibah]

im the one that posted and said i wrote basically 1500 words in 40 minutes..

i got my assessment back and i got 15/15. which shows that my writing had quality AND quantity.

 

[JT145]

About 1000.

Consider a typical exam question for Paper 2 of English Advanced, where you have 3 essays to write and 40 minutes for each question.

How many words can you write in 40 minutes? For me, i'm absolutely pushing it at about 920 words. I've done 1000 words in 40 minutes before but I could barely read my own writing.

I'd love to see the length of the essays other people are planning to write out for the HSC.

If I've memorised it and I don't waste time getting straight into it about 800 - 900 for the trials where I don't know what my essay will be about then maybe 600 if i panic

I battle to reach 800.... im so fucked trials are in a week

agreed : / lucky mine start tomorrow

 

[procrastinator2]

Yeh that works really well

Just get 2 rubbers and stickytape them to the end of your pen. As you get quicker, find something heavier

Masturbating also helps...

Last years did that, but there was one kid who forgot to take the weights off during the exam... Poor fool

Like seriously, just wank...

hhahahhahahah nice subliminal messages :L i also heard about someone who forgot to take it off he had batteries on his pen :L

 

[michelleeeee]

Our teachers are expecting 1400-1500
So far I can only manage 1100
Yay -_-

For trials - did 1300ish every 40 minutes.

 

[koreafantasy]

~900-1000 when I write non-stop, and think of my introduction and thesis statement during the Reading time. ( i prepare my body paragraphs).

 

[hoofheartedgirl]

1100 words in 40 minutes. I wrote 22 pages for paper 1 of my trials (English Advance AOS)

A year 12 student from Ryde Secondary College said mixing crushed Ritalin in energy drinks was common among his peers "to get a good boost during tests".

He tried the mixture while studying for his trial exams earlier this year, and said that it drastically increased his word rate.

"I was set to write around 2000 words but at the end I noticed I had written over 9000," he said.

Students asked each other whether or not they sat the exams "natty" (naturally), he said

So isn't the quote referring to his increased word rate during study?

In 10 years ASADA will be investigating the HSC

 

[doracle27]

We just got an assessment which is a prepared in class essay, and my teacher said 2000 words in 45 minutes.... which to me seems kinda impossible- but she got that from the head marker of ancient history so, i guess thats their expectations

I remember that article with much fondness.

One of my friends wrote about 1300, I wrote about 800. Typically beat him by 1-2 marks though it varied the other way sometimes. Write regularly to time and you can easily train yourself to hit 1000 which is arguably all you need. But what really matters is not how big it is but the quality of what's inside. Yes.
