If it's all good and memorised then 1400 until the very end of time limit, otherwise like 1100 or something.

At the start of my HSC, 900, by the end, 1200. But I knew quite a few people who could manage 1200 in 40 minutes even in Term 1. O:

I know a state ranker who wrote 1450, might I add, it was super neat at the same time.

Yeah my girlfriend did that but without the state rank... although she did end up with 50/50 for Extension 1. It's this thing they do where they sell their soul to the Devil and become his minion

She always wrote on the spot for all of her subjects (didn't get less than 94 for any of them...)

As long as what you write answers the question in a concise and holistic manner-how much you write is secondary to the quality of your writing. But you can always increase your word limit by practising again and again-or using a more inky pen so the flow of the ink is better-which allows you to apply less pressure on the paper while writing faster:)

Back in HS I could do around 1,000 - 1,200 words in 45 minutes (depending on whether my essay was memorised). I could maybe have done 1,300, but I wouldnt have tried my luck (it's much better to complete an essay with a little less detail).

With uni this dropped off a fair bit, mainly because I stopped writing as much in uni (1,000 words would be my maximum even with a memorised response).
