Well, I had a revelation when writing my creative. At home I managed to write 4 pages within 40 minutes with 5 to spare, when I was in the exam room I wrote 8 pages with 20 min to spare. What I learnt from that is that memorising the information you want to put to paper is important. Read through your prewritten story/essay once or twice everyday a week before the test and you'll vomit out the information quicker than you'll expect.

Okay, so like really knowing what you're going to write would stop you from hesitating/stopping? How about physically writing faster?

Writing is a lot like having fun ;), you gotta do it more to get better at it .(you know what I mean ). After lots of practice it becomes second nature to you.

Also adding weight to your pen is a good way of developing stronger muscles in your hand. Try taping used batteries to a pen and start writing with the pen. After a while the muscles in your hand will develop and you will be able to write faster when you take the batteries out in an exam.

Write in cursive, practice writing for at least an hour each day, use a good pen

A more efficient method of developing the muscle:

If your hands muscles get tired, keep writing.
They may be sore for a few days after, but when they recover, everything will be fine.
