my disadvantage isnt that i cant write fast [cos i can write at a decent speed] but it's the spacing out.. some people can write the same amount of words as i do.. but end up with 4 pages more in quantity! This immediately puts me at a disadvantage. (eg. some people write 5-6 words per line.. i write on average 9-10)

I could fix it.. but then my speed would be slightly distorted and it would mean restructuring my style of writing
That is me XD

We couldn't touch a pen during our reading time :confused:
Oh by reading time i mean the comprehension section :)

I write fairly small, so I can fill about a page in roughly 10 minutes. I have written faster though, doing about 1 1/2 pages in 10 minutes. I think I do about 10/12 words a line - though under exam situations, I'm not sure if that shrinks a bit.

My writing is tiny. < Probably smaller than that. So I write a lot, but it looks like less. I can average just a bit over 1000 words in 40-45 minutes.

Fountain pen gives me 10 pages tho, with about 200-300 more words :D too bad i lost mine :cry:

The most i have done is 19 pages in 90 minutes, so if you know your stuff you can do 10 pages in 45 minutes. My handwriting is not huge nor tiny, just average.

I'm lucky to get through a page and a half in 60 minutes - although I get anywhere between 20 and 30 words on a line >.>
