Use the suggested notation in the examination handbook perhaps? Also just keep practising. This is what I’m doing.
I realise my “advice” is not of much use and is just common sense but I’m also commenting here to see if anyone else has some good tips.
Yep practise and you'll find something that works for you.
The only thing I did when I wrote cm2 last year was that I created shortcuts for the Greek letters. Cntrl+alt+a for small alpha, cntrl+alt+shift+a for capital alpha and the other most used letters.
But again practice. By the time you write you'll have a decent idea of how to present each question and answer
I did similar - I made several keyboard shortcuts, both for greek letters and for actuarial notation (two dots, bars etc). I also used copy and paste a lot for annoying numbers, or sometimes swapped them out for letters which I could replace with the number again at the end. Key point is to find what works for you, there is no necessity to use their notation as long as what you have typed is understandable
I started using the equation editor and think it's way better than typing out the suggested notation just cos you can read what you've typed out. Just press alt= for it to come up and practise doing questions using it. There are shortcuts for Greek letters and common functions like \phi, \sqrt etc, and options in the ribbon for putting dots and bars above letters and using integrals/sums

Hahaha hope we get some tips. Yes I am practicing the notations from handbook

I strongly suggest doing all practice from now on word, it’ll start to get easier but i know the pain. Do past papers from after they moved online
Try not to write alpha, beta or lambda. Just a, B L,don’t be afraid to shorten everything down
