Bad handwriting

CAUTION - THIS POST RELATES TO THE CIMA 2010 SYLLABUS, SO IS NO LONGER VALID


Jono asked:

My writing is quite untidy and when I write on both sides of the page, reading is difficult. Are we allowed to leave each alternative page blank in the exam in order to avoid a mess and just have a longer answer?


Yes. It's your paper. You've paid for it. Use it how you wish. If you need another book, just ask.
 
I often recommend that students who press on the paper quite hard do this, as the writing can show through on the other side.
 
Also, as I said in the post below, "think more and write less". This will allow you to write more slowly, and therefore more neatly. Most students write far too much in their exam answers.
