klmama Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My dc always prints when writing quickly. Will that be allowed on the ACT or SAT writing tests? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Printing is allowed. Now, there's all kinds of interesting questions about whether the graders are influenced by cursive vs. printing or pencil vs. pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 My DD prints. It was not an issue, she did well on both essays (10/12). The only problem may be that printing can be slower; she needs to be able to write quickly enough to fill the available pages. I have read the comments about students who write cursive scoring better, but this seems to be tied to the number of words written than the actual script.

Can't remember, but was reading this somewhere about the psychology of grading essay exams. Perhaps college papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
