The trials and the times I did all three essays at once weren't to bad, but today for some reason I was in so much pain with the constant writing for two hours.
I felt like I was doing a handstand for the whole two hours, my wrist, my arm, my neck and back started to hurt so bad. If it was a three hour exam I doubt I would've made it to the end.

Anyone else find the writing load like this?

I didn't find it as bad as I usually do, maybe because I remembered to stretch during the exam, that said it was still painful.

I've been getting backpain while studying and last tuesday I could hardly stand so it's had been taking it out of me.

My hand was fine, totally forgot about any kind of pain since I was concentrating on what to write rather than my hand. :p I also had a practice run last night and a bit of a warm up this morning.

oh god, it sounds like you were getting ready to run a marathon.
But then again, todays paper, was like a mighty writing marathon.

But yay, we made it to the finish line. :)

Yes! I totally know what you mean. I don't know if it was because it was my third 2 hour exam or because of all the practice I did esp. for paper 1, but my arm killed me, my arm and my hand ached and for some reason my arm hasn't stopped aching. by the time this is over I'm going to lose all use of my arm for a week. that said, I have two 3 hour exams to go, two 2 hour one and the general maths which I don't know how long that goes for.

Yeah I wish I could have used my left hand as well heh...
I guess it was the whole writing non-stop thing, because modules really ask for a lot in a short amount of time, which really sucks.

But yay, no more English!

I think BOS is trying to promote body asymmetry in all year 12s cause like with all this writing in the exam and the amount of practice we have to do, we all probably by now have ended up with one arm much much bigger than the other.
