The Essay Whisperer says: Although most of what we write is on our computers, phones, and tablets, tertiary, GAMSAT, and STAT exams still require hand-written responses. Because of this, it is crucial that you work on your penmanship to make your writing legible. In my own experience of marking exams, the grade never goes up if I can’t read it – it can only go down, regardless of how brilliant your response may be.
