How many words can you write in 40 minutes? Just trying to gauge what would be the average, especially in regards to English essays?

I think for my english trials I wrote about 6 pages for each module within the 40 minutes but my friends range from 4-8 so not sure about that lol

Probably around 800-1000 I'd think although no guarantee

i can write about 1100 in 40 minutes, but my writing's tiny so it'd be like 5 pages or so

2 full pages = 1000 words
4 pages = 2000 words
6 pages = 3000 words

I used to be able to do ~1200 words in 40.
To get a B6 in Advanced, you generally need to aim >1000 in 40.

lol, exam booklets are 25 lines. no way you're writing 20 words a line.

I think I wrote around 700ish words for each english essay, got 91 in advanced. Not that the length of my essays was the problem, my analysis and vocabulary was just basic compared to people who got high 90s (where their sentences/languages sounded really nice).

I was around 1100-1200 words and got a high band 6, but I think my word amount was probably higher because I memorised my essays beforehand so in the exam it wasn't like I was trying to think on the spot and write analysis from just quotes and techniques, which will probably lower your word amount down a bit. However, just note the amount you write isn't really that important past 850 words I'd say, cause in some of my essays and short story they were under 1000 words and it didn't negatively impact my mark at all.
