      Did you do the test in print or cursive? I’m working on my cursive again after years of very little handwriting. I’ve found that, though cursive takes more patience with the motor skills and hand to brain connections, it’s easier on the hand.

        I’ve found that a hybrid between print and cursive works best for me in most cases. That said, it becomes “cursive” if I wanna go faster, which also makes my writing progressively illegible lol

    This is how writing always was for me. I’m a lefty, and I get nasty hand cramps after a paragraph or two.

      I’m the same but I also get an indentation on the last knuckle of my middle finger from where the pen rests. For exams I end up having to take a 5 minute break after each question to recuperate and massage it back to normal.
