Handwriting for exams

So my handwriting is cursive and I was wondering if the edexcel ial board would except it or not. I can send a picture of my handwriting for checking.

it should be fine, it's legible I don't believe exam boards would be opposed to it just because it is cursive

That's better than lots of other people you should be fine
The only thing is that if it starts with an n it looks like an m but that shouldn't be a problem

You need to make your letters ‘n’, ‘b’, and ‘r’ clearer. Perhaps I’m being pedantic on the ‘b’ and the ‘r’ but the letter ‘n’ can be misread as a ‘m’.

The only case I think it could be an issue is if you're doing a language, where spelling and accuracy are a key component in the writing exams
