messy handwriting?!?!?!

[nemolala]

ok so how much do the examiners take handwriting to consideration?

like i mean begin neatly but get worse along the way?

so i have hand issues where my stupid hand decides to "get tired" real quickly, not even writing a decent amount and will start to ache and the neatness spirals to a messy scribble.
ok i dont have neat writing anyways but if try i have to sit there and write like a snail, which will get me no where because i will forget what i want to say and waste a hell Lotta time
so how important is my writing?

[Whatlol]

I wrote underneath my last essay , please dont mind my handwriting (=

My ex-tutor had notoriously messy handwriting, and I mean HORRIBLE like he didn't even have fingers. But that didn't stop him from scoring 50 in English

[Whatlol]

I wrote underneath my last essay , please dont mind my handwriting (=

oh man i shoulda done that!!!!!!
brownie points

the irony is i reakon they probably couldnt read that note );

[nemolala]

lol but i heard you cant write anything to the examiner? i was thinking to write a note too to pardon the writing..
oh well then bad luck its not my fault i got the messy crap

I think they may be more predisposed to giving you a worse mark, but if what you write is good, you should be fine.

From one of my crazy teachers who swears he is a marker:

"They can't mark you down, but when it's 2am, and you're on your 4th cup of coffee and you just yelled at the wife to let you mark in peace, what would you rather see? Chicken scrawl or neat writing?"

LOL !

In all seriousness, it isn't supposed to affect their marking but if they have to scrutinise every second word the fluency of your piece will seem to go down and hence potentially lowering your mark..

but i mean isnt handwriting genetic? so what can i do?

but i mean isnt handwriting genetic? so what can i do?

I don't think it is... I've got awful handwriting, but I've been working on it. Trying to write with my shoulder and forearm instead of my wrist.
The only thing to worry about when it comes to messy handwriting would be like a few people have mentioned, the detrimental effect it could have on the fluency of your essay. You'd hate to have the markers stopping every five seconds when reading your essay to try and figure out what a word is >.<
