+391 A.P. testing would be a lot easier if the essay portion were allowed to be typed, instead of handwritten at top speed until you get a cramp, amirite?

Problem is, they would have to find a program that wasn't like Word, that wouldn't have spellcheck or anything to aid the students.

Even on the Lang and lit exams, spelling affects your essay score in almost no way unless your spelling is bad enough that readers can't figure out what you mean or your errors are excessive. All AP exam essays are treated like "rough drafts".

That's not hard to do at all. Where I live we write these provincial exams worth 50% of our mark. I wrote my English and Social one on the computer on Word but these tech guys modified it so that it wouldn't spellcheck or fix grammar mistakes and such.
