This part of the paper is more complicated for Metr than for Mainline and he certainly convinced me, for that environment at least, he is right.
The question was then asked whether graph paper is always available from invigilators; although there was a strong belief this is the case, no-one was able to say for sure nor find reference to it within the Exam Regulations etc. I hope someone knows for sure and whether it is A4 or A3, marked in mm or just in cm; some felt that the blank A3 sheets with the side marking may have to be utilised.........
Hoping someone can give us the definitive answer!
Whether or not it is mentioned in the regulations, it is supplied by the office in the invigilators pack. As I have never had a metro candidate at my centre in five years, I have quite a pile of it spare if anyone needs any. It is A3. Cannot recall if it is 1mm or 2mm squares, but it is certainly of that order.
