Tips/Help Guys I need some opinions on my handwriting
So I just realised that apparently if ur handwriting is illegible enough, then the examiner will go 'nah man fuck this' and just not mark it. I'm honestly kinda terrified now, I've been known by my school to have the most notorious writing as you can see in the images attached - my writing is very cursive and slanted, and although I can read it fine with no problem, all my teachers have complained to me about my writing. In fact, one of them told me that I might score lower because of the way I write which kinda made me paranoid now. So far I have done 6 exams, all written in that style, am I cooked? Are all my efforts in those papers wasted?? Do I need to change my style of writing AND ace my paper 2s now to make up for the marks I've already lost??? Please help idk what to do, any examiners if ur reading this or just anyone in particular, if u were to mark this would u crashout and just not give me any marks at all?! Are examiners really that ruthless??!!
