Candidates' Weakness

The strength of the candidates highlighted above notwithstanding, some candidates were reported not to have mastered the use of some drawing instruments effectively.  Some failed also to visualize the given objects correctly before attempting to answer the questions.  Other areas of weaknesses reported upon were their inability to:

  1. project lines correctly;
  2. locate centres of curves;
  3. maintain the lowest point in the drawing of isometric views of an object;
  4. draw isometric curves where required;
  5. take dimensions correctly.
