Choose a good pen on which you'll have a good grip, according to your handwriting. maybe this will help you.

Don't stress too much about neatness. Just get everything in your head on that paper as fast as you can! Ofcourse, neatness is a bonus if you want a world rank. However I don't know about you, but I'd rather not get a world rank for messy handwriting than being neat and missing half the paper. Just as long as the words are readable, you're alright. Good luck !

There are many aspects which need to be analyzed if you really need to be fast!

1.) As said above, your writing speed comes from practice. You can work regularly for this. Of course, you can massage your hands well before you go to bed to recover from the pain of writing. Massaging is a good way of relaxing our muscles.

2.) Being well prepared is also equivalent to writing fast. To understand this, let us imagine that you are not well prepared. Now what will you do in the exam hall? You'll read all the questions first, and then give a sigh! (Probably!!) Then you think of attempting questions but since you don't know the answer of all the questions you will have to select the questions you know well. Sometimes, you have to wait and think what to write after your answer is half complete! :) Look, there are many ways you lose time if you are not well prepared. So, be well prepared and save time.

Without being well prepared you can't write smoothly and continuously, and thus you lose your time.

3.) Again as someone pointed above, if you try to write neatly in beautiful handwriting then that will also make you late in completing the paper. So, write simple and understandable handwriting and move with speed. Don't worry about crossing your answers in the exams. I assure you that nothing happens if examiners see a lot of crossed lines!! It really doesn't matter because examiners always get copies like that and it's normal for them.

4.) Sometimes being selective in answering questions also helps you avoid losing marks on simple questions. That's because either some questions are simple or they take less time or both. In such cases, if you become selective then you can score better marks by solving more questions and the questions. But for this you need to be thoroughly aware about the question pattern and well planned & well prepared for the exam.

By the same token, you can avoid time consuming questions which bear fewer marks.

5.) The last way of being able to complete in time is that, quite often you get stuck in the middle of an answer or don't know how to start the answer. In such cases, you have to think how to approach or complete the answer. What I suggest you, in such cases, is move on to the next question and postpone the question which requires you to think. Now, if you have enough time after completing the answers you know well, you can think to answer those difficult questions unhurriedly. Even if you can't complete them be glad that you have done all the questions which you could answer. Just think how you would feel if you had wasted too much time on the question you can't answer and missed the question which you can answer quite well.

Remember to skim read too.
I believe Islamiat involves a certain amount of reading, right?
Is it in English or another language?
