Joined up handwriting, even the g and j's and z's, slanted, sometimes really tiny but generally just smallish.
So... I get many compliments on my neat handwriting, but when it's messy sometimes even I can't read it... I'd say that my handwriting is getting worse maybe- possibly because we're pushed for time in every lesson (the teachers want to get a lot done), and when I'm rushed for time I get nervous, and then ... my writing gets really shakey, because I shake when I'm nervous (embarrassing, I know) ... I'm not all that terrible for the usual class work, but perhaps in the tests I should just write in capitals, not join up or something?
That's what I'm most worried about. In a recent Chemistry test for example, I did get an A*, but my paper was only graded with an A because my teacher decided that he couldn't be bothered to read the really messy parts... So when we were going through it in class I found all of the extra marks that I should have had (4). How about you, if you have messy handwriting, what do you do in tests? What should I do?
Thanks
