    Hello Sir,

    I’m just curious, is there a thing wrong in answering questions in the exam in capital letter? I Sometime get off track with my handwriting while in the heat of the exam, i’m just thinking, capital letter might help.

    Thank you

    I think writing in capitals is slower to write than joined up writing. However, if your normal handwriting is very difficult to read, then capitals might be better. You won’t lose marks because of capitals.

    Thank you very much for the good points, I also agree capitals can slow the pace of things in the exam. I get lots of compliments for my handwriting but the exams tension somethimes get the best of me.

    I will look into possibilities of using capitals in subsequent exams.

    In exams time is scarce,please don’t waste time by writing questions, you won’t get any marks so for each 1.8 minute you have opportunity lose of 1 mark.

    @somekasu, thanks for the good point but the issue at hand isnt about copying question, but the presentation of the answer. It’s important you see the tutors response above.

    All the best.
