Who thinks Standard Packages' responses are a bit illegible? (1 Viewer)

I find a fair number of responses difficult to read.

Haha, you haven't seen how we write in the exams either, have you? My writing was horrendous.

Generally the standard of writing of most students in exams deteriorates. Bit of a gross generalisation, but a lot of the kids that do better have 'bad' handwriting, as a lot of them tend to try to fit as many words as they can into X number of minutes. So long as your handwriting is legible, you don't lose any marks for bad handwriting. Technically even if your handwriting is illegible, you don't technically lose any marks for it either - however you would lose marks for fluency if the marker has to ad lib every fourth word or so.

and the markers can read handwriting like that!

 

[Aerath]

Markers will make every attempt to read what you have written.

 

[want2beasenior]

as another generalisation but generally the people who write fast are the people who have a lot to say which a lot of the time results in messy handwriting

I've observed and looked at a fair few of the standards packages and you will notice some examples with terrible handwriting. Aerath has literally said what I was planning to, that students will try to cram so much writing into a certain amount of minutes and practiced to fit so much as well.

Messy handwriting often occurs as a speed boost in the knowledge that HSC markers to their absolute best to read it.

When I get time I'll try to type up all the standard package responses for sciences on Word.

That's a lot of time that could be better spent on school work or gaming or out with friends.... That's real dedication XD

Then agin it can also be used as a way of comprehending the standards so it can be said to be a study method....sort of.
