Messy Writing

EoghanIRL

As the tests go on my hand gets tired and my writing becomes sloppy. It is legible however. Sometimes my hand even cramps. Does this happen to anyone else? i hope the examiner can read my writing

happened to me in History, had I been writing as I normally do, I wouldn't have got the paper done. Hopefully the examiner will suck it up for me because I did really well.

Yeah that happened to me, I was still writing up until the last minute of history. My hand gets sore then my writing goes all big & messy. :mad:

That happened to me :P
My writing starts out so perfect, but by the end I can barely hold the pen and I basically just drag it across the page in a squiggly line... god bless the poor examiner who's going to correct my paper xD
It's so stressful, because even though my hand hurts I have to keep going otherwise I'll run out of time. Fairly dramatic, I'm like, "I...must...go on!"

Ha!!! I actually have a blister on my hand after history and English

I hold my pen really strangely, and as a result I have blisters all over my hand throughout the year. I started crying with the pain during my mocks for history as it was last.
So now I've got those gummy things on the pens, only using round ones, have a bandage around my middle finger where the pen rubs and am rubbing healing cream and doing hand exercises every day to relieve tension.

It's actually working! I was so worried I wouldn't be able to write for history and religion.

I hold the pens really strangely too, except it gives me blisters on my fourth finger! Cause I hold it in between by middle and fourth finger instead of index and middle.
I've been using plasters but they just fall off.. I'm going to try find some gummy things. Even if I've only four exams left, the gummy things will be worth it. XD

Trying finding some actual bandages, not just plasters and wrap it a few times around. My mammy's a physio so I just have all the stuff lying around luckily.

And yeah, they're an absolute life saver, the pen grips.
