lol thats just dumb.. no point writing fast if u cant read it lol :p
Haha, I totally agree! It's about the quality of one's work.
In this case, writing XD
And I can fill out one of those writing booklets with 15 words to a line in 40 minutes. I'm not really sure how much that is, though.
Oh, and it also depends on the question, as others have stated before...

i think so actually.
If anything, I found the new booklets helped me to write faster. I think it's the fact that the old booklets made writing a page feel so long, as opposed to the new booklet where one page takes about 4 minutes to write. It just boosts your confidence when you write each page at 4 minutes, as opposed to writing each page at 8/9 minutes.

the paper was so thick in comparison, it was weird.
also the spacing between the lines was annoying.

lol well a lot of words will be like 'on' .. but yer 1.6 secs on a word is alright... 2 words in 3 secs... thats achievable considering not every word will be like 'acknowledge' or 'imaginative'

Yeah, I agree, the paper was real thick.

I LOVED the spacing! It made it so much easier to fill up a page.

i thought the paper was thinner... and it was smoother - the pen just glided on it more easily

i thought it was great. not bad at all. probably improved my speed if anything.

You know it was probably the thickness that made me write slower, put too much pressure on my pen without noticing.

Ahh, so you hate the line spacing, too?
I thought it was just we people with small handwriting that ends up looking even smaller because of the spacing XD

im a pathetic writer.
I have broken my right wrist twice and i have RSI progressivly getting worse in my wrist. I wear a wrist support in the exams which takes some of the strain off.
The only reason i do well is because i get to the point straight away in essays and i choose three or 4 points crucial quotes and explain them in great detail.
