I certianly 'try' to hahaha, but i can bet you guys are better than me.

Out of curiousity are there other people out there who tend to write certain sentences they think don't make 100% sense or are grammatically flawed but think "wth" and continue writing?

If I try to think about what to keep writing and writing at the same time... it gets a bit wth. If i read over it afterwards it doesn't make that much sense haha, but english is NOT my strong point so I'm not too worried.

I can write and think at the same time, but its not unbelievably fast. I often go into an exam with a half memorised essay and the other half I improvise using the knowledge I already know.

not usually but at points when my brain suddenly blanks I automatically resort to "In this way" or "It is evident that" no matter what I just wrote.. was annoying at a few points in the module for hamlet haha. I'd have to cross it out then write "This" if I was elaborating on something

That is solely the reason why, it is essential to plan your responses. Use 5 minutes to plan your responses - make brief yet effective notes, trigger words. Also, ensure that you are answering the question. If you plan, then it is not too arduous.

If I have a lot of time, I'll spend ages perfecting every single sentence. However, under pressure I bullshit pretty fast.

What makes things particularly tough for me is having dyslexia but I never told the BOS...I don't know why I didn't (I guess I'd feel bad receiving special provisions). I have to read over my previous sentence as I am writing the next one. I got around 4.5-5 pages of 9-11 words a line during the exams :S

Hey, I'm sorry about that. I know some people with dyslexia, I know it can be hard which is a shame because there is help. I think you should have told BOS it would have helped to bring you on a level playing field with the rest of the state. They would have definitely taken it to consideration.
