Neatness matters
Have a clean and tidy paper with proper margins. The cleaner it is, the better it is. You must know that the person who evaluates your paper has to understand every step you’ve done and how you have landed upon that answer. Unfortunately, if he doesn’t clearly understand it, he might not have much time to look into a single problem. Make sure your paper is free of overwriting and cutting, and draw clear margins for doing the rough work. If you’re paper is clean, it only says that you have a precise mind!
