How much did you write? (1 Viewer)

[Aerath]

1k words in 40 minutes is ridiculous, for me anyway. That's an average of 1 word every 2.4 seconds.

For the people saying they wrote stuff like 6, 6, 6 and 4, 5 ,7 and whatever, around 18 pages, lets assume you write 9 words per line, and we'll also assume were 20 lines per page (anyone know how many there actually were?)

That's 3240 words, 1 word every 2.2 seconds. You have got to be fucking kidding me? Surely I've over compensated for the amount of lines in the booklet / the amount of words you guys are writing per line because that is ridiculous. If you can write that fast you must practice a fair bit.

*Disclaimer: These figures are likely completely random and inaccurate but I'm just trying to get an idea here of how god damn fast you people write.

Can I just say, if you're failing to be able to reach 1k words in 40 minutes, you're in a bit of a pickle. Most people should be able to get 1000 in 40, given the average is around 1050. Some people can get to 1.2k in 40 minutes.

OK, I'm not one to advocate writing pages and pages and pages.

But 250 words, seriously? No way does that get an "A" range response

Post the creative+marking criteria, then we'll see.

If it was 250 words per se - I'll doubt it was written in a narrative medium.

 

[fiesycal]

HAHAHHA 250 words... got to be kidding me. I'm not suggesting there was any bias involved in full marks, but it makes you wonder...

 

[Omnipotence]

It's all hearsay at the moment until someone from NSGHS confirms.
