Granted, the writing I&#8217;ll do on Thursday will be split into<br \/>\ntwo-three hour sessions, but a one-hour sprint was definitely useful for giving<br \/>\nme a sense of what I can say, how swiftly and precisely I can get to my claims,<br \/>\nand how much evidence I can draw from my notes, memories of the stuff I read,<br \/>\nand so on. I definitely recommend it (not to everyone, only future<br \/>\nexaminees). It&#8217;s worthwhile for exactly the reasons Krista said it would<br \/>\nbe.<\/p>\n<p>In one hour last night, I drummed out 1,388 words or the equivalent of just<br \/>\nmore than four pages. I went to sleep thinking that the pace and quantity were<br \/>\nin a satisfactory range, but I was less sure about the coherence of the answers.<br \/>\nI printed and read it this morning, giving some careful thought to the setup.<br \/>\nThe writing is raw, rough in places, and it assumes a certain understanding of<br \/>\nthe occasion for the writing. I&#8217;m not entirely settled on whether the<br \/>\nanswers should be understood as companions to the questions or whether they<br \/>\nstand independent from the questions (explaining themselves entirely, I mean).<br \/>\nWhile this wasn&#8217;t a disaster, neither was it an unqualified success. I<br \/>\nshould just leave it at that. Last night&#8217;s sprint: eye-opening,<br \/>\nreassuring, and surprisingly more coherent when I re-read it this morning than<br \/>\nwhen I imagined it during my pre-sleep mind-wandering last night. Tangent:<br \/>\n<i>I dreamt of poker, of winning&#8211;on dumb luck&#8211;a pile of chips with a 7-J<br \/>\nstraight on the final draw. Wuh?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Late this morning, I read over the notes for exam approxiquestion two before<br \/>\nwalking Yoki through the neighborhood. Once I was home again, I set the<br \/>\ntimer for an hour and dashed out a wildstyle 1,574 words or, that is, roughly<br \/>\nfive pages. I&#8217;m organizing both answers similarly, and each sprint allowed<br \/>\nme to write through the beginning section: a pronouncement about what I&#8217;ll do<br \/>\n(claim and motives) and a brief historical gloss. For this morning&#8217;s<br \/>\nanswer, the gloss involved North, Fulkerson, Carlton (postdisciplinary<br \/>\nformation), and Emig. Like I said, this is rapid-fire writing&#8211;a kind of<br \/>\nshout-it-down with only a passing care for how it sounds, <i>as<\/i> concerned<br \/>\nwith beating the clock as with fine tuning the answer. Again, I was<br \/>\nencouraged by the rate (worry: I&#8217;ll be writing the exams on a <i>strange<\/i><br \/>\ncomputer). If I can dash through twelve pages in 2.5 hours, that&#8217;ll leave<br \/>\na half hour for poaching the so-raw-they&#8217;re-ghastly sections. <\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t decided whether more sprints would be beneficial at this late date,<br \/>\nand so I might spend the next couple of days tuning outlines, working the claims<br \/>\nover in my head again and again. The sprints, as you might expect, sparked<br \/>\nin me a fresh mania: <i>will I be able to emulate the sprint?<\/i> I&#8217;m<br \/>\nhalf-kidding. I fully expect to be able to put together a happy string of<br \/>\nsprints on Thursday, but I&#8217;m also ever-aware of the tiny variables that can too<br \/>\neasily derail any high-stakes performance of timed writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 3<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>I went ahead and tried the exam-writing sprints Krista recommended.
