• Use cursive writing as writing pattern. This will make your writing more mature and it will look good when the reader is able to read your writing in the first impression. 

• Do not use double spacing between each line of writing.

• Write in between 10 to 12 words in one line. This will prevent you writing words with gaps and also too long which will make it simpler for you to quickly estimate how many words you have written in the test.

• If in case, you write something which is wrong then simply put a line on it i.e. error.  By doing this, the examiner will understand it while correction. 

• Use quotation marks for quotes and titles.
