Is it required in biology graphs as well as physics and chems?

so you lose marks if your draw the graph by connecting the points?

Yeah, if it says line of best fit you disregard the outliers or some shit. They can ask you this in Chem/Phys/Bio.

I doubt that you will ever be asked to draw a 'normal' graph. You're usually asked for a line of best fit. But make sure you can differentiate between the need for a line of best fit or a curve of best fit according to the data given. In our last physics trial it asked for a 'line of best fit' but the criteria indicated that a curve was necessary, rather than a straight line. Luckily I somehow misread the question and drew a curve.

I love when this happens! 'Missreading' the question and getting it right :D
Haha yeah! I felt terrible after the exam when I found out it said 'line' but ended up getting it right lmao.
