I cannot write fast enough!

A history 12 mark essay should take 15 minutes maximum, mine took approximately 19 minutes, including a few minutes thinking time before I started writing it down. I cannot physically make my argument, write it down in 15 minutes what do I do???

I am now left is disappointment and a cramp in my hand.

Is this GCSE? Oh, the horror.
I actually missed out a question (only 6 marks though, I don't recommend doing this as it was a few years ago now) because I honestly couldn't be bothered and my hand was starting to kill me.

My teacher always tried to convince us that the more we wrote, the more used to it our hands/arms would get so that's just what I did. I wrote everything as fast as possible - became crap handwriting, mind - so got done in time.

If you can't improve your speed, improve your revision so at least you can think of points quicker.

Sadly and very unfortunately it is AS which makes it a million times worse! Oh the hand cramps Yes I agree improvement in revision and immediate point developing definitely does help but my stupid hand can't write as fast as my brain is thinking, so sometimes by the end on my sentence I forget my next sentence. Oh I could cry right now!!

Oh God AS, sounds like torture.

Just practise then, can't think of anything else you could do
