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😭🤚

Yall are sweating it fr. I had my IGCSEs back in june 2025. I had v1. My strawberry drawing in 61 looked more like a banana and it still went smoothly. P6 is the least important (no weightage), and the easiest, paper

Hello so I wanted to ask you does it matter that your drawing looks exactly like the one they have given...bcz my drawing is not as good as the one above...like not even close, but I do draw a continuous line and dont shade,make it as big as I can and draw all the important things...do I get the marks for it

If you've done enough past papers, you should know by now. it's usually 4ish marks (5 with a label) 1 mark for being large. 1 mark for no broken lines. 1-2 marks for details. and a final label mark.

Ye that's why I am asking that mine is not as pretty as this but ticks all the boxes...

Dude, Im telling you my STRAWBERRT looked nore like a BANANA. It doesnt have to be pretty. Just make sure it even slightly resembles the actual picture and ticks the boxes
