Hello!
Does anyone know if handwriting carries in marks in the 2nd part of 11+ exams around here (Tiffins Girls and Nonsuch specifically)? My daughter's handwriting is unjoined and could be better but we are focusing our energies on maths skills, comprehension, vocab etc rather than her handwriting! It is readable but she hates to join up.
Sorry if this is a silly question! Just trying to prepare - she'd be sitting tests in Sept 2018.
I can't imagine that handwriting would have any bearing at all, except with regard to its legibility. I think a state school would be on a very sticky wicket if marks were given or withheld on the strength of the 'look' of the script, where the answers were clearly correct.
