    You don’t need any speed for the AA exams – 30% of the exam has no typing.

    The average length of a sentence in the model answers for a “risks” Q, say, is 22 words (a students’ sentences should be shorter than this).

    You have 125 minutes in which to answer Section B – you could type 70 sentences with 12.8 WPM … you absolutely don’t need speed – it’s much better to “THINK – before you type” – and certainly the marker does not want to have to read pages and pages of type in search of relevant answer points.

    @loken7777 – absolutely no idea but I don’t think it’s something you should worry about. It’s always better to think more and write less.
