else, just try to rewrite poems slowly and neatly as much as possible. I doubt university exams will care bout hand writting unless it is un-readable. | ||

Personally I don't see the point putting this on top of all the revision you are probably doing as well. My handwriting has gone a LOT worse than what it was when I was a child too. It won't affect anything in the exam as long as it's legible. I'm hoping typing will become the norm in the future. Faster, easier and no complications with how tidy it is (unless you choose some wacky font)  | ||

If it's not good enough to be read, just be mindful about it and it'll be better. If you're wanting to change just for the sake of getting a better handwriting, you can try writing with the opposite hand, and learn from scratch.. | ||

If you mean print, I would suggest those kindergarten practice books that have you copy out each letter precisely. It's a bit tedious, but it works. Sample, as everyone else said, would be helpful. | ||

Might work, might not. Otherwise just practice using memory retention timings with lettered boxes and you can overwrite your original handwriting memories. Memory timings, practice something then practice it again with a break inbetween, increasing the break between if you where successful in that practice session else reset to the previous practice repetition time. I find you should use these times personally: practice, then 15mins after, 45mins, 2hrs, 6hrs, 12hrs, 1day, 2d, 4d, 7d, 1week, 1week, 2w,4w,8w,16w,32w etc You should have overwritten your original memories well before then but this is useful for sending something into your longterm memory virtually guaranteed. There are apps to help you with the timings i.e. Anki etc. | ||

bad handwriting is one of my pet peeves. i hate it when i can't read writing, it frustrates me to no end. and you know the stereotype that doctors have terrible handwriting? it's totally true. i struggle to decipher the writing in the majority of case records i'm trying to read. and it's incredibly inefficient. i've witnessed on several instances doctors having to call each other to clarify what was written in the case records. worst part, my girlfriend's writing is terrible. haha. it's one of the things i always nag at her about. sometimes i try to read from her notes (she's a lot more conscientious about her studies than i am) and it's a real chore. and recently, i went down to a travel agent to help her settle some travel insurance stuff because she was wasn't free to do it herself, and there was some issue where they couldn't find her application on the system, and after a while we realised they made a small typo in her name because they couldn't really make out what she wrote on the application form. i was like FFFUUUUUUUU sorry to go off-topic abit with the ranting, but yeah.. i applaud your effort to try to improve your writing. everybody should make an effort to write legibly! | ||

I guess I should also mention that I used exclusively pens for the past 8 years or so unless pencils were mandated (SATs, and other similar fill-in-the-circle type mass-tests). My current style is a blend of cursive and block. It naturally evolved from block as I was never a fan of cursive. As I got older a lot of my letters ran together and became more fluid. Some of my letters actually look a lot like cursive now, although the stroke order is different from what I learned when I was younger. My lowercase s for example, is almost identical to how it's "supposed" to look in cursive. | ||

If you want to practice straight lines you can start by holding your pencil in such a way that the outside edge of your palm rests on the corner of the desk or table. Then move your whole arm down the table, using your shoulder and elbow joints to move and keeping your wrist firm and unmoving. If that doesn't work you can try the same technique with your pinky pointing along the table's edge. Drawing straight lines this way is really easy. When you get good at it you'll be able to draw straight lines 90% of the time you want to without even having your hand on the edge of the table. The other 10% you use your eraser** and get it on the second try. Again, I don't know if this will help with cursive, but it certainly helps with print. Edit: **used to say ruler, meant eraser | ||
