Messy handwriting and SAT/ACT Essays

[jyber209]

<p>It may be messy, but if it is legible, it should be OK. Here is what the College Board says:

Your essay must be written on the lines provided on your answer sheet - you will receive no other paper on which to write. You will have enough space if you write on every line, avoid wide margins, and keep your handwriting to a reasonable size. </p>

<p>Remember that people who are not familiar with your handwriting will read what you write. Try to write or print so that what you are writing is legible to those readers.
