Our study centre chairs are the new padded type....so we don't generally get chair discomfort during exams.

Our classroom ones are the normal type but I never found them that uncomfortable, only sweaty in summer yurk....

My back is screwed enough already, without having to sit for three hours on such hard chairs.

But with the writing thing, I get a lump in my right-hand thumb when I write alot, it looks disgusting and its quite painful.

They're bloody painful but you know you have to keep writing which makes it worse.
