Fp2 polar curves

I'm doing fp2 and I'm struggling in sketching polar curves I can do the simple ones okay but the spec is saying I am expected to be able to sketch like 10 different functions, how am I suppose to know what the shape will look like for different types of polar curves does the examiner expect me to know all of them?

It's funny cause 2 days ago I was in the same position as you! What I did was watch YouTube videos (Krista King has a few short simple ones) on how they plotted it then created my own notes from that to refer back to. Having a scientific calculator helps as you can put the equation in the "table" function between the limits and it tabulates the results for you to then plot.

There is probably a way to group them.
