So how many people here are going to be neat in math exams? This counts towards:
Compasses
protracters
rulers (only for lines which do not involve graph drawing)
those auto shape things which draws shapes for you

and stuff like that. Im not sure if i want to draw neat circles as i always find it to be stupid anyway.

its not really how messy your writing is or where your writing is but actually on your graphs and cirlces and such. cause i think i vagely remember hearing my teacher say that if graphs and cirlces and such are not in pencil, and drawn with the prper apperatus then you will lose marks

not that they take marks, its that it pisses them off. But they should be able to follow our work i think.

wudnt want that happening in the real thing. They take each question and send em to different places for marking. So if your answers r everywhere, then a booklet or two might be lost in transit? :p And that would be a real shame.... :)

If you live near Sutho, try the stationary/stationery (sp?) shop there. (mayhap it's a stationary Stationery Shop?)
