One can also use a Velcro board available from BPA Ahmedabad. This board uses a Velcro(the one used in some shoes or hand bags). On top of the board, a thick cotton thread can be used to draw diagrams. I found this very useful during my economics exams in my b.com hons.
When I had to understand a diagram, I would ask my father to draw it for me, and when I had to explain the diagram to my scribe, I would draw during the examination. Before this board, I used to draw either with my fingers or with pens, but I was never sure whether I drew them correctly or the scribe had understood them properly. After I got to know about the board, speed of drawing such diagrams during the examination increased substantially. I could not obtain the board so I had just purchased a Velcro strip, and created the board by sticking the cut pieces of that strip on back of a writing board. Writing boards are anyways allowed in examinations. Obviously, Velcro board is not only useful for economics, but it is also useful for any other field that has diagrams.

The rubber mat is just that, a mat made of rubber. The german film is a plastic sheet that goes on top of the mat. You can then take a stylus or a similar implement and draw on the film. The key thing is that you or a sighted helper can draw on the same side of the sheet. These mats and sheets will most certainly help you.
