Does anyone else's hand hurt like the dickens? I mean, deep aching pain in the webbing between thumb and index finger; pain on the underside of your index knuckle, weakness and inability to hold a pen..?

I somehow managed to spatter ink on my hands and down my forearm. I think I was mangling my poor fountain pen, though.

My hand only hurts immediately after the exam. However, the better I know the exam material, the less I have to frantically panic and kill my hand in the process.

Hand always starts to get sore towards the end of the exam, especially the 3 hour ones. Writing starts off pretty neat / good size and progressively gets worse throughout the exam as my hand gets worse.

lol. my left hand has a torn tissue in it. and my right has a strained muscle. im right handed which is better for my hands i guess. but they really hurt. special provisions are annoying. i did it for assesments but its just really annoying to go through all the forms and stuff so i just put up with it now. but my left hand kills after society. can't wait till art :D.

ah no i just never realised and because i have really neat writing no one was ever standing over me checking my grip.

also its only something you really notice when you are churning out lots of words per minute and get blisters in really odd places on your hand. its not like i'm going to change how i write i just thought it was kind of odd.

I've grown a lumpy-blistery thing on my little finger from where it rubs on the paper, so i haven't been able to write without a banaid on it since trials because it hurts too much. And now i've graduated to two bandaids, it hurts through one of them.
