Some candidates were reported not to have mastered the use of some drawing
instruments effectively. Some failed also to visualize the given objects correctly

upon were their inability to; '
(i) project lines correctly; ,
(ii) locate centres of curves;'" ",
(iii) maintain the lowest point in the drawing of isometric views of an object;
(iv) draw isometric curves where required;
(v) take dimensions correctly.
Candidates are therefore advised to:
(i) practice drawing regularly with the use ofappropriate instruments;
(ii) 'practice by' visualizing objects before drawing them;
(iii) learn how to project lines correctly; ,
(iv) discover different methods of locating centres of curves;
(v) practice isometric drawing with the lowest point in sight;
