<p>Is it bad (like does it have any effect) if you have too many cross outs…</p>

<p>On my normal AP USH tests, I have like 8-10 cross outs, and sometimes, 2 complete lines are crossed out. My teacher doesnt mind and she just skips over it.</p>

<p>However, I am worried that tomorrow, that will happen to me, so does anyone know if there are any negative effects of having too many cross outs? Can the reader count off?</p>

<p>I’d suggest spending a bit more time on your outline and planning if you think your reader will be irritated with crossouts.</p>

3

<p>Readers won’t count off for things marked out.</p>

4

<p>Readers aren’t supposed to deduct points for crossing out. However, subconsciously, it MAY have an affect on how the reader grades your paper. Shouldn’t matter too much though.</p>

<p>nawww i just spent like an hour looking at samples from a bunch of different tests at [AP</a> Central - Exam Questions](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board)</p>

<p>and lots of the perfect scores in a variety of subjects had a lot of crossing out</p>

<p>I always make sure the crossed out words are distinctly crossed out, which means going back when I’m done and fully blackening the crossed out selection. I think that the readers would rather see that then a careless scribble through a sentence.</p>
