i have the same problem...but i have time for my exams..will try 2 improve my presentation till then..

if the examiner is going to understand what you wrote, he will surely mark your paper..
and i don't think igcse is against crossouts and cuts..

good luck
 :)

and remember its the first time they put that format, so they'll be more lenenant. I had quite a lot of crossing outs, buts its kinda their fault they didnt give enough area for working and if u wrote the wrong working you were ****** as you didnt have anywhere else to right. Dont worry i guarantee you they're going to see lots of messy papers.
