Zombie apocalypse, maybe ask Drongoski to help with your handwriting? Results guaranteed

If it's any consolation, I've seen worse haha

I am trying to achieve this (with speed).

I find most running writing to be much more difficult to read - I would strongly recommend print rather than running.

yeah i found this true when doing my HSC except sometimes I would randomly switch back and forth between cursive and print mid-paper lol and notice it till I stopped writing

As an HSC marker can I just say that we will try to read it - but if we can't read it we can't mark it.

It doesn't get handed to some specialist, it doesn't get handed to a typist, it doesn't get handed to the Senior Marker.

What happens is that the marker assigned the paper is allowed to consult with another marker to see if they can work out a few more words - and that is usually the SM - for the simple reason that if one marker in the group can't read it the chances are that the second marker won't be able to read it and so the SM will be consulted again and finally if they two marks are far enough apart it will be taken back to the SM anyway - who would then be reading it for the third time.

Handwriting is a part of the communication skill set and you are being assessed on your ability to communicate - so if it can't be read it can't be marked.

Another furphy I hear every so often is that students are called in to read their work to the markers - again no - that would be totally unfair on the students who do the HSC overseas or even just the rural areas of the state.

If your handwriting is bad then you need to spend time working on that e.g. practice by writing out your notes so that you are studying and practicing your handwriting at the same time - and as you would need to concentrate on what you are writing it might even improve your studying.

*practising.

writing with a different pen can help. i found ball points were making my writing hard to read and it seems more legible with a felt tip

 

[jamesischool]

lol for real you're going to make your contribution be a correction?

*practising.

this is my writing under exam conditions and my writing when i'm just doing school work at home. guess which is which?

I don't understand the point of only having 2 hours to write 3 essays? Should be 2 hours 15 min at the very least. Fuck english

 

[jamesischool]

i know right. i barely manage to get onto my 4th page for 3 essays. then again some girl told me she used 12 pages for 1 question...

Well since it was an HSC English marker I figured it would only be appropriate.

 

[cem]

Sorry I don't mark or teach English.

 

[U MAD BRO]

I write in a really weird way, I make the lines of the paper perpendicular to my wrist but my hard writing looks really good.
Use a pen that suits u like the uniball deluxe micro, that might help

Haha, one of the screenshots has the writing slanted to the right, and the other to the left.

But if you made it 2 hours 15, everyone would increase their essay length accordingly and you'd still have this issue of running out of time. If you manage time properly, two hours is fine.

Tbh, 2 booklets isn't that much. In 40 minutes, if you're quick, you could write about 1200 words...

Actually, cem was right the first time.

I used 6 booklets for each paper, almost 40 pages in total.

Agreed, 40 minutes is plenty write.
