•
First, fulfil your required gadgets that will be used in the exam. Choose a reliable pen that glides smoothly, and make sure to bring backups in case one runs out.
•
Then practice writing quickly but legibly in timed sessions, paying attention to reducing hand fatigue by loosening your grip.
•
Organize your time by outlining ideas briefly before you begin writing, and manage your time efficiently so you can complete all sections
•
On exam day, take deep breaths and be relaxed, stretch your hands, and start with the section you feel most confident in to build momentum. Remember, your goal is to convey clear, strong ideas, not to obsess over neatness
•
Write smaller: Make your handwriting a bit smaller to fit more on the page without losing legibility.
•
Don’t stress about perfection: Nothing is perfect even a small bug always remains. So focus on speed and content over perfect uniformity. Slight imperfections are fine if it’s still legible.
•
Use a light pen: Choose a comfortable, smooth-writing ballpoint to reduce strain.
•
Loosen your grip: Hold the pen more loosely to avoid hand cramps and increase writing speed.
•
Outline your ideas: Spend 5 minutes outlining your ideas (bullet points or mind map) to stay organized.
•
Write freely & refine later: Get all your ideas down first, then tidy up if you have time.
•
Take breaks: Stretch your fingers or move your wrist after each paragraph to prevent fatigue.
•
Adjust pace: Slow down slightly to maintain legibility over speed, if needed.
•
Content is key: Focus on expressing your ideas clearly. Neatness matters that are easily readable less than having strong, clear content.
