Nothing arrogant about it. It seems against common sense that you should just jump into writing without a few moments consideration.

Do you judge personally that writing within 10 secs. and writing at a fast speed important elements of exams?

Whatever!!! You do it your way..... and how successful are you???

I pass so it must work having a touch of consideration.

When I did exams, the thoughts would fire up immediately and I'd start jotting down ideas and how to construct my argument, before pulling it all together into the final essay. I have no idea what others did because I didn't care; I was doing the exam for me in my own way. Perhaps if you did the same and stopped worrying about what other people are doing, you'd manage more than 2 sides in an hour - there's no way that is sufficient for degree level exams.

Maybe 2 and a bit sides is not enough to exam essay but you can only write as fast as you write. I do not worry about other people, but I have just noticed how many people jump straight in whilst I have been thinking at the start.

Come off it - last night you admitted your goal is to keep up with your friends career and moneywise, and suddenly you're not comparing what others do in exams despite starting a thread on the very subject and attempting to pull down those who do exams differently to you? Don't deceive yourself; you're certainly not fooling me. Hasn't your philosophy degree even taught you a mite of self-awareness?
