Are there any pens which would make you write faster or any idealistic pens which are more comfortable to hold or that you fancy? I find that I am writing too slow or maybe I didnt manage my time properly because it is very obvious to see that my handwriting starts off as real neat then as page and page goes on it starts deteriorating and when teachers announce something like 2 minutes left, it is almost like scribble but does it looks close enough to the actual word i guess

PILOT MEDIUM ONES. Not the clicky one but the capped one. Costs 3 bucks each or something but good for exam times. Expensive for writing exams though HAHA

Yeah up until the Hsc i always used the Pilot Medium points (capped cause the retractables arent as good), but ive been using the Bic 'Smoothies' which take a bit of getting used to but they are smoother

PILOT BPS-GP <M> is my pen of choice.

"Ergonomical, soft rubber grip for writing comfort. The grip has a triangular cross-section that utilised the thumb, index and middle fingers.
Uses Pilot's advanced formula oil based ink for very smooth writing.
Features stainless stell tip with tungsten carbide ball for smooth writing.
Handles lighter than other ballpoint pens thus alleviating writing fatigue."

best pen, and the only one i ever use is the 'staedler stick 430M', i took about 6 into each exam, and only ever used one, which never ran out.
its a basic and cheap pen--> not good if u get sweaty hands

I loved my Ernst&Young pen :( Then it broke. I am currently using some imported pen with sickeningly cute pictures on them. It's thin and the ink comes out a lot better than those pens with the white body and black/blue/red tip?

The grip is good enough, nothing special... but the way they write well outweighs this!!!

Nothing like them I tell you! I've tried a lot of pens and these beat them all!
