if you can't write 5 pages on a topic in 2 hours you have a serious problem.

for the comprehension section of my yearly most people wrote 5 pages in under 30 minutes easily.

Yeah, our English assessments this year had people writing 5-6 pages in 40 minutes, and someone even wrote 9 pages in a one hour assessment task. Well, it really depends on your writing speed, knowledge of your content and writing size.

Five pages in two hours doesn't sound that hard.

I got a band six in english whooo! but um I don't remember how much I wrote. I remember wanting to write more but not being able to because the fucking template on the page had borders and shit which seriously restricted the amount you could write.

at this level you can write something like 4-5 pages HSC writing paper (massive lines mind you) in 40 min. 40 min times 3 essays in paper 2 = 2 hours. And trust me, you can't spend more than 2 mins in that time thinking about what to write or you are screwed.
lol not for the sc.

words wise i could proally write 4000 words in 2 hours. But i dont know that much on anything.
