IS MY HANDWRITING LEGIBLE?

[nacho]

I wish I had Dr. He's handwriting

but his p's and q's are retarded lol

On topic: It's legible, just slightly taxing, as the flow of reading is slightly disrupted. I've seen way worse, though - on my friend's practice exam, literally half of her text response was completely illegible. In the first sentence it said something like "In Elia Kazan's award winning film..." but "award winning" looked more like 'and wing' written really messily and spread out. It took me about a minute to figure out what it said using my epic powers of deduction and handwriting-deciphering.

funky, is my exam conditioned writing legible though?
i think i should be able to pull that off in the exam, i just need to discard my ultimate pen, the BIC Atlantis which i can't write neatly with sometimes

yea i should be alright.

I personally found your exam-condition writing more legible (maybe cos it's a thinner pen? better defined...) but yes, definitely legible to me, at least. I found these amazing pens today and bought a whole bunch - papermate inkjoy: they're reaaallly smooth ballpoints (generally neater than gel ink/rollerballs), you should go try them out. I found the cheaper 2 for $1.50 ones easier to write with than the 2 for $4.50 fancy-looking ones.

Disappointing that you will have to discard it, especially after that paragraph you wrote about it.

BIC's finest pen, hand-crafted with its' unique oblong shape and perfectly placed grip with an amazing texture. Gently, your hands caresses the pen, for something could not be so delicate, soft and invincible. As you raise the pen like it is an animated lion cub, the sunlight gilds the edge of it, and the engraved words "BIC Atlantis" gleam wetly in your gentle grasp.
You cannot resist it in anymore, you must have intercourse with the pen. You tear off its' lid and begin to write.
The ink does not just come out, it rolls out, hugging the paper with such love that your hands glide motionless as you write. No, let me correct myself. You do not simply "write" with the BIC Atlantis, you weave together a fable, a legend.
When the examiner opens your exam-paper, he shields his eyes momentarily, for he has not seen such divine beauty, ever. The perpetual dark blue glow of the ink leaves him  awe-inspired. He deeply gazes at each word you've crafted, torrents of water flow from his eyes for he has never felt such a surreal experience. The tears soak the paper, but the ink remains, it is not simply living on the paper, it is married to it. The moment you began crafting your fable, the ink and paper exchanged vows, 'till death to us part'.
This is not simply a pen, it is a reason to write.

So yea... this is why you should buy this pen. It made me the man I am today.

I can read your 'at school desk doing exam' handwriting fine.
However....
My view may be bias as
1. My own handwriting is shocking so maybe I am used to it?
2 I've recently done the article you're analysising so may pick up the words easier?

But I read through it fine, I think an examiner should be able to.
However it is a worry that you might end up rushing and your writing will get worse (happens to me). In this case they might not be able to read it?

[Panicmode]

Don't worry, my handwriting is just as shocking (see badly scanned text book for example =D)

[nemolala]

I read the topic without pause..then lost where i was when I was reading your piece.

Lmao good to know that I'm not the only one with rubbish handwriting*

lol what?
mine or panicmode?

... rubbish writing,
as in handwriting or expression? :S!

Yeah I have the same problem and my teachers have just given up on telling me. Its obviously not something you can change easily, but my teacher made me aware of the fact that it just means that everything I say needs to be effective and waffle-less-  well as it should be anyway. But more so for messy handwriting, which makes sense. What the examiners read, out of shit shit they cant read, needs to be effective.

And I find my handwritting deteriorates further along an exam. At the start its neat, but towards the end it gets more illegible because I slack off and I just cant wait till its over.
I think, for english, I'm lucky that I do Language Analysis first because my writing would be better then
And I'm thinking of doing context last, in which I should be able to get away with messy handwriting because, the essay is essentially waffle.

[SamiJ]

LOL Nacho, says a few things about you (your handwriting):

1. You're definitely a guy
2. Therefore, you cannot be going to macrob

Also, that handwriting...well put it this way, on the basis of that alone you should get into Monash Med

You clearly haven't seen my writing
And I'm definitely female.

@nacho: I meant for the other poster. And also meant about my handwriting lmao not the actual work

man that quote is like automatic +5 respect whenever its posted

in all honesty, a pen is like a wand. i've not seen harry potter enough to remember the exact quote but each pen/wand is completely different.
The original Bic Atlantis I had was amazing, very defined strokes, and every time it was lifted from a word it produced a staccato of ephemeral "blips" which induced some ethereal peace into my writing.
The original Bic Atlantis is not with me.. replacements - of the same model - have failed to reproduce that quality and experience of writing.. better stop before i create another one of those

You should write a creative piece about this on the exam!

[Ghost!]

Oh nacho I love it when you fret!

Disregard the majority of people who have said that you need to 'change' your handwriting. How ludicrous. For one thing, I cannot imagine a bigger waste of time with two days until the exam. Secondly, it's not really that hard to read. Maybe I'm just to reading my own writing, which is similar to this, or maybe I'm amazing at deciphering scrawl or something, but I couldn't find a lot of words I couldn't read.

Examiners are PAID to read the scrawl of a zillion students, they are fantastic at figuring out what a student has written. If there's something they get stuck on, I'm sure they just skip ahead, and given how good your writing is, no doubt it will make sense in the next few lines. Thou shalt not lose marks for handwriting such as this.

So nacho, did you try the inkjoys? Didya?
