I have no problems at all reading that - looks fine.

Thanks

Rather than trying to change your writing on short notice, it would probably be better just to remind yourself during the exam to write a little slower to ensure neatness and legibility. I know the tendency is to go as fast as you can for fear of not finishing, but often going slower helps you organize your thoughts better and a neat, easily legible paper will make a favorable impression. Perhaps some of the teachers/professors can comment a bit on this?

BTW, to your original question, I did have a bit of trouble reading the following words: countless, numbers, examiners.

Looks fine, but then my handwriting isn't that great. But I had a hard time understanding your name. :ph34r:

Do you write really small? From looking at it it seems that way--a bit of difficulty I encountered was that some of your (lowercase) letters seemed to "close up" (A and O, for example), as if you were using too broad of a nib--but I see you're using a fine nib.

Also, the hanging loops (like on lowercase Y) run down into the next line of writing and make it just a tad confusing...maybe shorter loops?

Hi Shaun,

Your handwriting looks fine to me. I do think you can improve legibility, though, by using a less wet ink than Montblanc. The ink you are using now makes the loops etc. rather fat for a fine pen, which makes the characters less well defined than they could be. It looks a bit like a B nib used for an F-size script. Try Waterman or Parker ink, to improve the definition. For blue that would be Waterman Florida Blue or Parker Quink Washable Blue. You'll find the characters will be more clearly defined.

If you don't have to use blue, you could also try Blue Black or Black from either brand. For exams I use Waterman Blue Black as my main ink, with lots of aother colours to brighten things up, draw graphs, to emphasize things, etc. . BTW, I have an M-script, and I normally use M-sized nibs for writing at exams. The characters I write are probably about 50% bigger than yours.

HTH, warm regards, Wim

Thanks for the replies, I'll try using lines furthur apart, or less wet ink!
