Do Lefties Get Screwed on the Essay?

<p>I am a lefty so when I am writing the essay section (Which I must write very fast), my hand tends to run over the words that I have just written, causing smudges. The people at the PR always took off 2 points for "neatness", limiting the maximum possible score to a 10. Will CB do the same?</p>

<p>I tried to keep it as neat as possible but its hard due to time constraints. Normally in school I don't have this problem since I either use a computer, pen, or have plenty of time.</p>

<p>Any thoughts?</p>

<p>FU CK we got graded on neatness?? I FAIL!</p>

<p>i think the kind of paper they use must be anti-smudgifying cause left hand doesnt have that streak of graphite on the side that's usually there after writing an essay</p>

<p>I'm not sure whether we get graded on neatness or not that is why i'm asking.</p>

<p>That's strange, because I did have some smudging, especially once my pencil got a little bit dull (I actually cycled through 4 sharp pencils to prevent this).</p>

<p>However, lefties rule!!</p>

<p>GOd damnit, i hate the graphite hand</p>

<p>My left hand always has a huge streak of graphite after a midterm, final, or state test. Why must i be born a genius! (Lefties are geniuses)</p>

<p>damn straight we are</p>

<p>they don't grade on neatness per se, but an illegible test will get a bad score, and the neatness of one's handwriting has an undeniable subconscious effect on how good it seems</p>

<p>Damn, well I wish I were a doctor, then nobody would question my handwriting :P</p>

<p>oh its readable.
Its just chicken scratch
CRY
I just wanted to finish it, which i BARELY did. FIlled up just about all the space too. :) I worked so hard trying to figure out how to write this god damn essay. I hope i get an 11 :)</p>

<p>im right handed and the same thing happens to me =[</p>
