<p>On the back of the test book, when it said to write this statement in cursive, I printed it. This is a serious question: Am I going to get my scores invalidated?</p>
<p>i printed too bc i dont know alot of cursive and i wouldn't be able to fit it</p>
<p>HAHA, dude, I printed it to. I don't really care (uncaring, not ambivalent) ha. But seriously, I stopped writing in cursive when I was in 3rd grade, and it would have taken me like 30 mins to write those couple of sentences in cursive. You should be ok, don't worry about it :)</p>
<p>It took the room I was in like 10 minutes for everyone to finish writing in cursive! I couldn't read a word I wrote, ha.</p>
<p>Mine looked like a third grader's handwriting. I had to finish writing the statement during the breaks to finish, lol.</p>
<p>People were like "Dude I forgot how to write in cursive" and this one kid took literally TEN MINUTES to write his in cursive.</p>
<p>If your regular handwriting looks "loopy" or connected, then it's fine. I'm sure the test people won't really care...</p>
<p>i wrote half cursive half print is that going to be invalidated lol</p>
<p>I drew a smiley face at the end.</p>
<p>But I'm cancelling my scores anyway, haha, so who cares.</p>
<p>ur scores wont get invalidated
i remember i printed it on the jan SAT and still got my scores</p>
<p>The first time I did it, I forgot how to write in cursive lol. Yeah, if you wrote it in print, you'll still be fine.</p>
<p>Do you connect words in cursive, or just the letters in each word and put a space between the words?</p>
<p>^ hahahaha
you definitley leave spaces : )</p>
<p>i was really confused though, my cursive looked like a the writing of a first grader having a seizure.</p>
<p>Oh my word... Honestly, I hate to sound pompous, but really, is it that hard to write in cursive? What is the state of the United States' educational system if even the students who care about their SATs and want to get into selective colleges cannot write a simple sentence in cursive?</p>
<p>I'm proud to say that I know how to form my letters in cursive.</p>
<p>I never understood the point of cursive.</p>
<p>I think print means like typed...</p>
<p>well said evanw - i love writing in cursive :)</p>
<p>yeah i agree evan it isnt that hard to write in cursive. it was mandatory in my past two schools but no one in my current one does it..</p>
<p>Don't worry if you didn't write in cursive. Your scores won't be invalidated. What is the point of writing in cursive anyway? It just makes things more illegible.</p>
<p>Cursive is faster...</p>
<p>Also, I think it's an intersting mental exercise. For example, when a child is taught cursive, it is like a new art form; perhaps the first art he has ever been introduced to that has a tangible purpose--communication of thoughts which can easily be understood by any other English-speaker. Over the years, assuming the child continues to use cursive, he learns all the nuances of the art. He learns the purpose of the placement of parts of letters. He learns the proper slope and even develops a style all his own.</p>
<p>"Oh my word... Honestly, I hate to sound pompous, but really, is it that hard to write in cursive? What is the state of the United States' educational system if even the students who care about their SATs and want to get into selective colleges cannot write a simple sentence in cursive?"</p>
<p>In college, graduate school, the workforce, you don't write in cursive. It's useless.</p>
