    Can you use colouring pencils in the DCG exam? I think it would be alot handier and easier to see/differentiate between different things. Is there a specific kind of colouring pencils you should get? Thanks :)

    Not sure if you can or not, i've never heard of anyone doing it but I can see where it would be handy, especially in interpenetration:mad:, just have to label things perfectly i suppose

    You can. You can also use pens of different colour etc. Handy for the dihedral angle questions.

    You can ya aslong as you don't colour in very heavily so you can't make out all the hidden detail.Just bring 2-3 different colours and shade lightly and this should make your work much more appealing which might net you a few marks that would've on the other hand be lost.

    Do none of ye use fineliners? Nearly everyone in my class uses them, perfect for planes/interpenetrations questions. There a type of fine pointed inked pens, and most of the colours are pretty bright. You can buy a pack of them for around €10 I think. They're deadly.

    Nobody in my class uses fineliners but I can see where they would come in handy, but what if you needed to change a line or rub out part of a line for something like interpenetration?

    Yeah, fine liners are what I meant by pens.

    Just be 100% that it's right before ya use them! If you made a mistake im sure the corrector will understand though, I doubt you'd lose much marks, if any.
