guys

tired of only writing 1000 words in 40 minutes?

Get a little jar (pocket size) - put olive oil in it, and then put it on the tip of your pen - take the jar out of your pocket and keep doing it when the oil has dissipated

it will increase the writing speed profoundly (2000 words in 50 minutes)

This is true, but large writing also makes them think "too much unnecessary detail".

In SOR, we had a religion and peace essay I was writing. I had an epiphany where I wrote out my prepared response (1200 words) in 30 minutes, and the exam was 50 minutes....... So I went through my paper and just corrected any illegible hand writing (like 4 words total), and then I just waited. I got scared because I finished early. I ended up losing 1-2 marks over "unnecessary detail" lol. (got 18/20)

I did ask for a new booklet and wrote like 9 pages though, so he may have just thought automatically "too much detail".

It's so annoying when they do that. They just go off an impression and don't even think about it for a sec.

It doesn't take a genius to work out large writing = more pages.

Pretty much sums up what I feel like everytime^

I'm going to write medium tomorrow, or try to. It may inhibit my speed a little because I'm not used to it, but I'll do it so I can avoid the bs.

Same for me except I write small and it looks like I don't write as much as others D:

Thy could easily estimate how much is written by counting how's my words you write on each line and how many lines were filled up. Would take 10 seconds.

But they don't

Especially if you're arab. They'll bias you. (personal exp.) lol

Remember the plot and also some main techniques you used that would impress markers. This way it is easier to adapt it to the question as well

I'm currently writing my creative. Pretty much memorized.

My essay, nearly memorized.

Remembering three quotes each for another 2 poems though, just in case.

 

[iBibah]

WHat's everyone doing for paper 2?

 

[JT145]

On average, how many quotes do you have per paragraph?

I find that if I go over 2 quotes my paragraphs turn out too long

[JT145]

Oh. I sort my thematically.

4 paragraphs, each about 200 words each. Usually when I write on my computer for non-exam essays I hit anywhere between 300 and 600 per paragraph.

I actually think I have written too many essays in non exam situations that is hindering my ability to discuss texts in exams. :'(
