Hand writing tips

(1) With the pressure of exams and the need to write quickly, the handwriting of many turns from something that is readable to a totally illegible scrawl.
(2) The solution is to practice writing at speed before hand so that you can still get good writing at speed, and also to choose the best pen for you.
(3)

You will want one that can glide over the page with little resistance, therefore use something like a biro rather than a fountain pen unless you are comfortable writing at speed in fountain pen ink.

(4) Remember then that being legible is more important than having a good writing style, perhaps with the one exception of English.
(5) If examiners find it hard to read your writing then it makes it a lot slower to mark a paper (they are only human!), and they may even be less inclined to give you marks

Good handwriting always gives an upper hand to a student, but that doesn't mean that poor handwriting always costs. Actually what matters is writing neatly, make sure that examiner understands what you have written.

  • Use Black pen to write title and subtitles.
  • Give diagrams wherever necessary.
  • Always start a new question on a new page.
  • If there is any mistake don't make it look shabby by scratching it many times; just put a line over it.
  • Wherever possible use scale for drawing.
  • Underline the key words.
