How do you improve your handwriting?

How to improve handwriting (aged 15)?

• How can I improve my handwriting? My cursive handwriting, currently, is referred to as 'doctor's handwriting', due to its scruffy nature. However my block capital handwriting is some of the neatest in my Product Design class. Unfortunately, I cannot use block capitals in my English GCSE, and it does take a lot longer anyway. Which is the problem. I can write rather neatly, but it takes a lot longer, and in an exam, I have to make the choice between scruffy but fast or neat but slow. So how can I improve my handwriting so that it is still just as fast, but much neater? Here are two images of my handwriting - one from when I was 12, the other from a few days ago. Neither are superb, but the handwriting aged 12 is more legible than the other, my 'doctor's handwriting'.

Both were written with a fountain pen, just with different colour inks.

• Answer:

  I'd suggest you get those practice books or other such writing aid. Speaking from past school experience, the books we had used letters,words and sentences with light gray versions of them underneath with a ton of empty space beneath that had lines and such. Using a pencil we used to write over the gray words to get a grasp on them then used the empty space to further practice. you can use those books to do the same and of course practice making your writing quicker while at the same time compare them to original writing. Or don't buy the book and just do what I suggested.......
