    does handwriting speed really matter in p3 exam? My handwriting speed averages 22-24 wpm. If i try to write quicker my handwriting just get too messy for the examiner to understand. So my question is: Will I be in too much time pressure in the exam or shall I trade off legibility (somewhat) for an improved speed in exams or i shall be ok with my current handwriting speed. Please help me sir, because the p3 exam seems daunting as far as the quantity of writing is concerned and I believe that it is a very time pressured paper, all the more for slow writers.

    Hi
    I am sitting p3 as well and have been told it’s more about the quality of what you write rather then the quantity , there is a web video on the Kaplan exam tips website about how they Mark the wordy papers which gives a good insight and some useful tips, you should check it out, good luck

    no matter how much you write.if its illegible, you are more likely to fail.
