writing in all caps

<p>Sorry about the incessant ACT questioning...</p>

<p>Do you all think that writing in all caps on the essay portion of the ACT would harm my score? I've written that way since 8th grade and can't write neatly or efficiently any other way.</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

<p>i don't see a problem, as long as its possible to read.</p>

<p>How do u write in all capitals??? that takes forever lol</p>

4

<p>I print, but I connect just about every letter, so most words I write in just one stroke. It's not quite cursive. But it's legible. :)</p>

5

<p>I would just make sure to make whatever has to capitalized anyway noticeably larger than the other caps. Skim it when you're done to check for this.</p>

6

<p>Can you scan a few lines of your writing so I can see it? :)</p>

<p>Yeah here it is:</p>

<p>I guess I don't connect letters as much as I thought I do. Usually I'll only start connecting letters when I'm in a hurry (e.g. racing to finish the ACT essay during those last 5 minutes.)</p>

<p>i was a bit hesitant but looking at your sample, it looks very legible at least compared to some other students at my school! you should be in good shape, as long as you clearly indent and make the first letter of each sentence or proper noun noticeably bigger (which was not as apparent in the sample)</p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>God I love that handwriting</p>

<p>looks good, but like everyone else said, make sure the first letter of a sentence and proper nouns are larger</p>

<p>Even if you didn't make the first letters of sentences/proper nouns bigger (but you should try to be safe I guess), you'd be in good shape. My Geometry teacher wrote like that, and I've seen others write like that also. The graders shouldn't (and probably can't) penalize you for your handwriting.</p>
