<p>Oh, man. The Writing on AP tests killed me. The topics I generally knew, but the length just killed me. First off, I wansn't used to writing with pen. Second of all, after an hour or so my hand cramped and my hand writing was crazy messy. My question: do the AP people make all efforts to read your bad handwriting, and have any of you been owned on the essay portion because of your bad handwriting?</p>
<p>The legibility of my writing also declined by the time I got to the third essay of APUS. </p>
<p>Generally, if an AP reader can't read your essay, it's handed to another reader. If that reader cannot decipher your work...I wouldn't count on anything higher than a 2 on that essay.</p>
