You will need to find which handwriting is best for you. Although cursive writing is widely considered to be the better handwriting style, it is not easy for everyone, especially for exams. Cursive or joined-up handwriting can improve speed as it flows more easily, but only if you have practiced it for quite a long time. Print handwriting is easier to learn quickly. As long as you keep your letter size and spacing consistent, print writing can be easier to read than cursive.
