Cut your nails!

this might seem trivial, but there have been a few exams where i have gone in with long nails to the point that my palm hurts when holding a pencil for too long, or when shading in an answer.

so, cut your nails guys and girls! when you’re concentrating on the exam, you really don’t want to be distracted by anyhting, let alone something that would take 5 minutes to remedy!

and wear drafty clothes, short skirts are best for you ladies.

How exactly do you hold a pencil? I have long nails but my nails don’t touch my palms. Like this http://draftingmanuals.tpub.com/14263/img/14263_277_1.jpg

This reminds me of the dream I had last night. I filled in my answer sheet with a sharpie pen!

hahaha i had a feeling i was the weird one! my ring finger and pinkie curl into the top of my palm instead of resting on the ground

LOL… I have long nails and never had an issue holding a pencil :S
