How come no grid paper for Mathematics HSC exams? (1 Viewer)

[MrBrightside]

Why is there no grid paper for HSC Mathematics examinations? Right throughout my 13 years of schooling teachers have always said use an A4 'grid' book. But you get to the HSC and it's just a page with dotted lines. -.- How is that even helpful for graphing solutions in appropriate scales?

Seriously.

do you actually STILL use a grid book for maths?

Not any more, but I did for class up until half way through year 12.

Lol why do you care about scale?

Just draw the graph and be done with it.

HSC questions usually ask you to "sketch" a curve, showing the significant features such as turning points and intercepts. You don't need graph paper to do that.

 

[interesting]

have never seen a question asking for a scaled diagram

No, but it helps and looks neat.

Need to get your priorities straight buddy.

Lol, I actually never do scales for graphing in exams, I just do a rough plot.

that should do, as long as the graph is around the scale (examiners know that not everyone is neat in their drawing).

ohhh grid paper would be awesome.

Grid paper hurts my eyes.

i hate grid books with a passion... probs stems from year 7 latin which I did in a grid book...

 

[MrBrightside]

I would prefer evenly ruled lines (1cm) spacing, not bullshit 7mm spacing, it looks so messy when sketching a graph and you have a line not on the axis grrrr. How many cm do you guys normal do for the x axis and y axis? (roughly)

 

[slyhunter]

1/3 page like a boss.

 

[someth1ng]

Do you even rule the axis? I just hand draw it LOL

Rule. Otherwise it looks like a fucked up graph.

How so?
