What is Question 1?
Overview Question 1 is considered the traditional question of
the exam paper.
It is COMPULSORY !!!!, meaning that you must attempt this question.
The question carries a weighting of 60 marks as with the other four questions to be attempted.
The question is devised to test your ability to draught technical section views of buildings.
This requires a range of skills from visualisation of the problem presented and the ability to graphically illustrate in technical measurement the proposed solution.

What is Question 1?
Content: The question covers alot of areas and there are
infact up to 15-20 drawings (Combinations included) that could be asked of you.
Despite the volume of material to be covered in this question it serves to prepare you for other questions in the paper should you choose to attempt them as the learning of such a volume of information gives you the opportunity to apply it elsewhere with relevance.
So nailing this area will set you on good ground to achieving your desired goal, which must be to do the best you possibly can.

What is Question 1?
Content. SCALE: Apart from the development of graphical
skills you must learn to use scale!
Scale is relatively simple and you do not have to learn to use scale rulers, though it can be an asset, as they can be complicated to read and in the event of an exam the last thing you need is confusion.
Scale represents the resizing of actual real application dimensions so that you can accurately display them on your sheet to show the technical views correctly.

below:
The scale indicated is generally 1:10 or 1:5

What is Question 1?
Content: Scale 1:10, represents the initial unit 1 (Actual real size
measurement) is to be re-scaled to be a unit 10 times smaller (Scaled measurement).
Example: (In Millimetres)- Arithmetic Method
1000mm @ scale 1:10 = 100mm, this was achieved as follows: 1000÷10 = 100.

What is Question 1?
Content: DETAIL: It is vital that you detail your drawings with
the necessary and accurate information. Without the detail you will loose a significant portion of the marks as it shows that you do not understand the technicalisms of your work.
Accurate detail must be printed neatly and using correct positioning and arrow styles. A minimum of 15 marks can be lost for failure to detail.
