Few quick tips that can be helpful if you are planning to be a scribe:
  1. Practice writing beforehand for an hour or two if you've lost the habit of writing.
  2. Do not hesitate to write an exam with apprehensions about your handwriting not being very good.
  3. Do not hesitate to write an exam with apprehensions your writing speed being very less.
  4. You can easily confirm the above (2nd and 3rd) fears by showing your sample writing to few friends!
  5. Plan to reach the examination center at least half-an-hour before the start time.
  6. If possible, take the standard set of pen, pencil, eraser & ruler along with you.
  7. Always keep a watch on time and your progress & pace to complete.
  8. Go and write the exam with as much (or more) sincerity as if you were to write your own exam.
Last but not least, enjoy the joy of giving!
