I think you can only type if you have some sort of disability that the Department of Education acknowledges. If you do type you would probably be in an isolated exam room so you don't disturb others with your loud key punching.
You're writing ain't too bad in my opinion, I've seen worse. I've seen some exemplar answers published by the BOS which have similar styles to yours. With your handwriting, it would probably take some close observation to work out each word, but it can be read nonetheless. As long as you can read it, you're fine, because chances are, the markers can also read it.

Your writing is readable, but obviously if you had lines it would be better I hope :p

And yes, just a bit big hahaha

yeah, i guess it would be harder to read when it's small.. but then again, I write big.. lol... i'd say 5-7 words per line average.

ummm.. a cookie to whoever can decipher it :p :D

I can read it just fine.... I don't think you have too much to worry about.

I personally think it's better to 'running write' in an exam (if yours is clear enough) as it's a lot quicker than printing.

Some people say they don't know how to write cursive though.... which I find strange. I thought everyone learnt that in primary school?

My peers have trouble reading my handwriting, but teachers have never made any complaints. Here's a sample (random photograph of random art notes from year 9)

I print, and UI reckon my writing kicks evryone else cause I'm the bestest person in the world.

But although mine starts out like a computer printed essay, it ends up being scrawled and annoying. Still readable though.

dude your writing is perfect for the hsc, it seems really fluent meaning speed .

and to those who thinks your work wont get marked if its too messy thats completely wrong. It needs to get through a few markers and then the senior marker and then the supervisor until its "unreadable" and even then they will still try to "work out" what you wrote.

trust me if they didnt mark messy work i'm going to get 0 for the eng adv exam i had today.

etc etc etc - your writing is cool! I like it. It's very unusual. Not much letter shaping.

And YBK - I love your writing!! I seriously do. It's nice :)

would you really be able to type instead of writing?

typing has a big advantage for some ppl in terms of speed etc.

YBK, your handwriting is fine, I like the stylistic curves that you make with some of the consonants. :)

My teachers have told me that they don't mark it if they can't read it so yeh.
this is hsc urban legend. if a marker can't read it they will pass it on, this will continue right up until it reaches a senior marker. your teachers are having you on in saying that they won't mark it, they in fact attempt to give you the biggest possible chance.

in saying that legible handwriting does make a big difference, but its crap to say they will not mark your work mate
