Penmanship
As mentioned elsewhere on this CD, penmanship on the HSGQE is extremely important. It is imperative that the people who grade your writing assignments are able to decipher what it is you pen to paper. You could be the greatest, most gifted writer in Alaska, but if your writing is ineligible, you will never be understood.
If you have tried desperately to improve your writing to no avail, switch your mode of writing. If you write cursive, switch to print. Vice a verse if it's the other way around.
