So how many words do you write per hour? I just wrote my journeys essay of 1320 words in 41 mins which equates to something like 1900ish words per hour. So with that, how many words do you write per hour?

(I'm hoping for around 2k per hour, as that's what my creative for ext.1 is :[ )

Did you write that off the top of your head or have a prepared (if you have one) essay in front of you?

That's a really good (and enviable) length. My prepared creative piece for ext is only around 1200 words, and in the trials it turned out to be around only 900ish.

This is a question for anyone: how many words have your teachers advised you to write for the creative piece in ext, or have they not set a benchmark?

Teacher said for modules a good amount to aim for is 1100-1200 per essay.

In AOS I've been told approx 900-1000 words for creative and 1100-1200 for essay once again.

And yea that was a prepared essay (though not in front of me, it's memorised)
