How to re-attempt graph sketches in the GCSE.

I always tend to make a mistake when drawing a graph, my arm will slip or I'll forget what shape it's supposed to be when drawing it or it will be the right shape but I won't go through one of the coordinates I need to go through. Can I use an eraser to re-attempt parts of the graph? Is there another way I can re-attempt it?
Also can I re-attempt construction questions if I make a mistake on them?

Yes of course you can use an eraser! My best tip is to draw it out lightly first, then it is easier to rub out.
Another tip I have learnt, is before drawing anything, write down everything about the graph - is it a positive or negative, general shape, y intercept, x intercept(s). I would always do this, then draw out the graph, then write in any coordinates :smile:

Thanks! I'll use an eraser if I mess something up then.
I usually try to visualise the graph in my head to work out its general shape. At least at GCSE we're not given anything that complex to draw haha.
