Hi,

There is something which disturbs me in the STEP II curve sketching module "About this assignment" part. It states that STEP papers may not ask us to draw a graph, yet I have seen past papers up to 2014 asking to sketch a graph, and curve sketching is still an expected skill in the syllabus. Is it a typo or have I misunderstood the statement ?

Thank you !

I think it means: it is

I think it means: it is possible that the question does not explicitly ask you to sketch a curve or graph, but it could be helpful to do so nevertheless.

Oh, indeed I get it now !
