> How can you write sufficiently fast in an English or History exam (where you have to write a whole essay in limited time) if you're writing one letter at a time like a 6 year old?

You use an ipad and keyboard or some other similar device. The only times in my life I have had to use cursive were in elementary school, pretty useless skill to have in this day and age.

iPads in exams? This just gets stranger and stranger

Just a tool to type with, it can be locked to prevent internet access or any other app.

This happens in the UK but only if you're literally disabled in some way so you can't write by hand, everyone else still uses pen and paper for all exams.

You're allowed to use a biro though, quills and inkwells are optional
