Speed thrills but kills

[101dalmatians]

Speed kills my NS test!
When I take up speed, my over writing chances goes up to like [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]%
Of all the mistakes on my NS test, at least one-fourth is pure over writing...
So I put a [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] instead of a [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]. Then, when my coach looks at it - like no where in my whole test does a [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] look like [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]...

Pretty annoying sometimes.
I think that UIL/TMSCA people should remove that rule of over writing that makes my test a mess!
This is because - I mean - we still know the concepts. It is just the time pressure that causes over writing which is kinda plausible.

If overwriting were allowed, it would inflate scores for everyone, and it would make speed too much more important than accuracy. Right now, I feel the NS tests demand a really nice mixture of those two, and, as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
