Drawing graphs for H2 maths and econs?

  I understand that maths and econs require graphs, are they drawn on graph papers during the exams? or are they just graph sketches on normal writing paper?

  How big should they be and should curves be drawn with a curve ruler or just free hand? thnks alot

  or just whether I need to draw with curve ruler?

  anyone knows...

  Depends on what graphs bah. Normally for H2 math most of the time just sketch on foolscap paper.Unless you're drawing diagrams (Argand diagram or Correlation curves etc..) It neater in this way 

  And econs doesnt even have graph paper at all lol! 

  I dont think you will even have time to use curve ruler..

  ooh that means graph paper will be provided for Math exams, but whether we choose to draw the diagrams on the graph paper or foolscap paper is up to ourselves?

  Yup! 2 pieces of graph paper for H2 math

  thanks for your help

  I just looked up on the Argand diagrams, it's like a circle shape diagram with lines inside, like for this kind of circles do I have to draw with a compass during exams? or should I just free hand sketch every single diagram due to possible time constrains(even the Argand diagram and Correlation curves)?

  Yup! For Argand diagrams you'll a compass to draw. Drawing shldnt take you too long. I would say less than 5 mins :)

  Hi LancerX, Graphs and Argand diagrams should take up 1/3 to 1/2 of A4-page. Thanks! Cheers, Wen Shih

  If I draw a diagram on the provided graph paper, how do I describe it in my foolscap paper answer? should I write a sentence like "pls refer to graph paper for the dragram" in the answer?

  Now I'm a bit confused what the graph papers are for, from the Math exam answers I've seen all of the graphs are sketched on the foolscap together with the answers. Will some questions tell me to draw on graph paper?
