How fast do you write? (2 Viewers)

[Aliyas]

I don't write that fast usually, but once I wrote 1300 in 45 minutes which was quite an achievement for me. It was very messy though. Usually I'm around 1100 in 45 minutes.

I was wondering how people write faster! Does the battery on the pen trick really work? Are there any other hints? And do you sacrifice neatness for speed? Is it worth it?!

I write about 1300 in 45 minutes.

Sacrificing neatness for speed is only worthwhile if it's still decently legible.

batteries on pens didn't work for me only because my handwriting is ridiculously horrible so it just made it worse. if you have neat handwriting, i'd go for a rubber, cut into two pieces and put it on both sides of the pen. it seems like the same thing in terms of mass, but it makes a difference

i would only sacrifice neatness for speed if you've reached a point where you're satisfied with your answer. if you're not and your handwriting is like mine, that maintain neatness

Battery on pen just ends up giving you RSI.

How do you guys test it out? I just brought up a timer and got on a random webpage and copied text for 10 secs then multiply it

 

[Sanjeet]

Copying text is much different to writing from memory

i average around 1200 words in 45 mins. however i can get upto 1500 - 1600 ISH in around 50 mins but not sure whether it will be legible. and im left handed so yeah.
ive been called back by the mark twice before to explain what i wrote... (lol) and took me a while to figure out too

 

[Kimyia]

From recollection, about 1200 words in 40 minutes.

 

[Annihilist]

I either write legibly, really slowly, and my hand hurts like hell after ten minutes, or I write at an average pace and no one can read it.

I only know because I memorised my 1400 word essay and reproduced it in 45 minutes xD It's better to do it from memory rather than copying.



And I think I might try the battery thing...just for fun.

That's super fast

 

[CrackerMo]

1.1k in 45min (memorised though)

 

[Parvee]

The best I can do is ~1000 in 40mins

 

[iRuler]

1000 - 1100 in 40 minutes, max (during hsc period).

Now, maybe 800 in 40 minutes lol, hardly write anything at uni.

That's not bad. At least yours is probably more legible!

My english exam today sucked. I struggled to write 1000 in 45 minutes, which usually isn't that difficult for me. D=

You got to train your hand to be able to tolerate the lactic acid.

 

[Eg155]

maybe 1000 if lucky...
on another note, does being left-handed make u write slower and a little illegibly... ?? :L
