How to study it
Drawing is a skill built by repetition. Complete every sheet yourself, and practise visualising objects: look at a 3-D object and sketch its front, top and side views before drawing them properly. Keep your instruments in good condition and pencils sharp.
In the exam
Neatness, correct line types and complete dimensioning all carry marks. Plan the layout of the sheet before you start so views are aligned and nothing runs off the page.
