    Have you got the CGP book? It's pretty helpful there's so much to learn though!

    It is so helpful! The general theme is Rainforests and that should be the theme for the design question

    Assuming you got full marks you would have to get 120 UMS on the exam which is B. This is UMS B however and not marks, but i don't know how to do that sorry

    Does anyone know what cellular production is? I think it's the same as subassembly but I'm not too sure?

    yeah, I have the CGP book, but i was hoping we didnt have to learn ALL of it hahaha. Looks like we do though so its going to be cramming for me all day. brilliant

    Im a bit worried about my designs though in case what they ask for isn't something I have done. I really need to keep up my grade so losing marks on this part will be really bad for me

    do we do 2 designs for one product? or two totally different designs? because the wording on the pre release sounds like we do two designs for the same product? what designs is everyone doing?

    i know the others were like that but the pre release sais 'develop ideas for a textile product' so our teacher told us to do types of one product e.g. boys and girls version because it says product not products? so now i'm confused!

    When it says develop ideas for a textiles product , it literal just means that it has to be a textiles product, it would be incorrect grammer to say products and wouldn't make sence
