Did anyone/does anyone plan to do what Kaplan suggests, use your left hand for the mouse so you have your right hand free to write? Just curious 🙂
 
That would just tAke me longer because I'm so used to right hand mouse use.
 
I knew having to smudge everything I wrote throughout my life would pay off someday. Rise of the lefties! 👍

i plan on doing it! i've been practicing with my left hand, my test is next week. it just really helps with when i do the grid for hole punching in PAT, and cube counting, and math...basically everything. i'm a fan of this method! 🙂
 
It keeps your right hand free for writing, saving precious seconds. I just don't know if it will be so awkward that it wastes time.

But wouldn't you have to use your right hand then so that your writing hand would be free? And I've never heard of this method but it seems pretty bizarre, but hey whatever works for ya right?
 
I'm a righty. If you practice with your left hand long enough, you will become quite good at it. It works because you can just keep your left hand on the mouse the entire time and use your right hand to write. It's especially helpful if you're someone who likes to cross off answers as you eliminate them.
