I will soon have a very important exam (on the 10th of May) and I am stressed about it. The reason for it is that I will have to write 2000 words in 2 hours for 2 topics (1000 words per hour and topic). I have attended lectures and seminars and I can choose my 2 strongest topics from a selection of 5, which means I can practice writing essays about them until the exam.

The problem is that I will have between 25 of April and and 10th of May (exactly 2 weeks) to prepare for the exam. On the 25 of April I have another exam and I will study only for it, afterwards I will start preparing for the above mentioned one.

As I mentioned, I know the topics, but I simply don't know how to write that many words in such a short amount of time. I can't memorize such a large information in order to represent it on the exam (I've never done such a big essay-type exam before). Any tips for preparing? I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Make a list of 10 bullet points for the essay. Then expand on each of those for 100 words.
Practice doing this several times and go over your completed essay. Memorize your bullet points for each topic. The points should flow one to another.
Example:
1) introduction of topic (100 words)
2) first idea about it (100 words)
etc.
10) should be your conclusion
Just my suggestion.
