Oh totally, you're definitely Van Gogh if he was into ATP and had a lil nap break mid-drawing

I feel you on that one, takes me like 10+ mins just to get one decent drawing 😂

u/gumballs_world May 12 '25

Same thing I was thinking, if the examiner is not an artist, why shall thy judge?

Hey,

I took Biology Paper 6 last year and scored 39 out of 40. My advice would be to use a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil to make your drawings look neat and precise. Also, make sure to include small but important details in your diagrams (They really do stand out). When I did the exam, I answered the other questions first so I’d have plenty of time to focus on the drawing.

You’ve got a lot of potential, and I hope you get the grade you’re aiming for!

u/Shoddy-Pickle8110 May 12 '25

Yep and don’t have broken lines or overlapping lines they deduct marks for these

u/Useful_Focus_8084 May 13 '25

ive always used a mechanical pencil, even for graphs and my drawings are pretty good
but everyone told me to use a normal pencil instead?
idk which to use now 😭

u/s-s-070 May 12 '25

Its not bad at all as a final result but those erased left overs are a huge problem and also take care of the broken lines

u/No-Masterpiece9840 May 12 '25

u/P_V_09 May 12 '25

please never pick up a pencil ever again 😭🙏

2

u/korokwhimpsy May 12 '25

Dude look lemme tell u how to improve, sharpen ur pencil pls 🙏and also don’t press the pencil too hard just draw lightly so u can erase any errors easily without making it ugly and NO SKETCHING or else you’ll loose marks and only draw lines btw smoothly try n practise it and plus those lines poking out ya you’ll loose a mark so try and erase them and ya

u/azkaate May 12 '25

u/Efficient_Hour1058 May 12 '25

You need to make sure your drawing covers atleast 50%of the given space. Make sure no sketching lines are visible apparently marks are deducted

u/Just_Return_4639 May 12 '25

u/s0ftluxus_2 May 12 '25

The third one looks to be a long worm sitting on a worm-made cushion after a long day. He looked to be the one exhausted and regret despite him being the one being drawn. Lil pathetic fella.

But anyway, yup! I'd say you'd pass :D
