I distinctly remember the last time I wrote something in cursive, prior to today, that was not signing my name. It was the day I took the SAT, in junior year of high school. The task was tedious, as I did not remember much cursive, which I had not used since elementary school. Why I had to write a two line statement in cursive instead of printing prior to taking the SAT is beyond me. How is saying I won’t cheat in cursive more trustworthy than saying it in printing?
Today, I took the GREs, the SAT of the college world. I was taken back to junior year when the examiner handed me a clipboard in which I had to write a two line passage, in cursive. I groaned inwardly. Not again. The task took me nearly as long as it took me to write the second essay (which was laughably easy). The examiner even came out when I was nearly done and asked me, ‘Are you done yet?’. My printing is horribly messy and my cursive isn’t even legible. It just barely fit on the five lines they gave me to write it on.

I LOVE CURSIVE!!
Oh man, I remember when we first started learning how to write in cursive in the 3rd grade, our teacher made us write like that for everything. I never wrote in cursive again in any of my other grades until the 7th grade when our Social Studies teacher wanted us to write in cursive for our group project. My two friends and I were in the same group and we realized we wrote so SLOW in cursive. Now I don’t even know the proper capitalizations of letters. I just write the capital letter in print and then write everything else in cursive if I have to.
Hahahaa your awesome<3 i love my signature
when i was in kindergarten or first whatevrr i wanted to be a teacher when i grew up i thought cursive was super cool teacher stuff so i would scribble all over the paper and it would be "cursive" yea yea yea so basicallythats what my signature looks like now. Lol like a retarte two year old wrote it haha it's actually quite embarassing. The only time I really have to sign stuff is the bank but lol yea… Done. Its hideous
If your cursive is not legible, I think you’ll pass with flying colors. Haven’t you noticed that all, I mean ALL professionals who need to write things by hand write in illegible cursive? I’ve never been able to decipher scripts written by doctors and vets and such.
I don’t remember how to make half the letters either.
For the ones I couldn’t remember, I just printed them and connected them to the next letter. 
I’m so bad at it.
My signature is absolutely awful. You can’t tell at all what my name is based on it.
I did pretty decently, yoon. Better than I expected. I’m just happy that I won’t have to take it again. I just tell people I inherited my dad’s handwriting. He’s a doctor and his is even worse than mine.
