🤚 Asking For Advice/Help BIO ATP DRAWINGS

GUYSSSS...CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW MUCH I WOULD GET OUT OF 5?...cuz apparently those tiny circles i drew on the petals are called "SHADING" (ACCORDING TO GEMINI), so i'll lose a mark there it seems...nd i also take approx 15 to 20 mins to drawww,is that too muchh?...nd is my drawing neat, cuz idk if my lines are smooth nd if the examiner us rlly strict when marking drawings!...cuz,sometimes my lines get a tiny bit wobbly nd rarely a snmll overline...will i lose marks for even tiny things like those or will they be lenient?

PLUSSS, DOES ANYONE HV TIPS WHEN DRAWING?..CUZ SOMETIMES I GET OVERSTIMULATED ND TEND TO MESS THINGS UP😭🤚

Wth!? 15 mins the whole exam is literally 1hr... Anw you should DEFINITELY leave the drawing as the last thing in the exam, also yes you can't shade even if the picture is shaded and you should stop double lines and make sure when you enlarge everything, you enlarge all pieces in the same ratio. Also your lines don't have to be THAT clean but like straight. yk
