How is everyone feeling about it, I'm actually feeling ok about it, I mean I feel prepared for it, haven't done loads of revision but I think I've done enough .

[Awe5omeness]

I don't feel ready at all but I have a GCSE in resistant materials so I know quite a lot of it already

[HHJ]

how have you prepared using the pre release?

[MasonPye]

Hey what is the design part based on? im doing it tomorrow as well!

[Ingamo]

It's based on designing a perfumed product/packaging i think... my teacher has a feeling it's going to be related to the olympics but it's just a guess

Looking at past years grade boundaries, it seems you only need about 70% for an a*?! This seems achievable hopefully!!

Not sure, i know that my exam is about fragrance products, not sure if its the same or different for you though :O also i think we need to know about design movements like memphis, art deco/ nouveau and some artist. Either way il prob fail lol

widhkbejsdf I'm drinking red bull and coffee and pulling an all-nighter until 7am when I get to school. Stupid, I know. I have literally learnt nothing since we only have 10 hours (2 days - I have Product Design: Food for 5 hours on Mondays -.-) to prepare and the Bank Holidays reduced the time. Anyway, can someone write down some topics I need to learn please? n_n; Oh and what did you get in your coursework? I got 100% yey *brags*

Everyone who's doing the Product Design exam tomorrow (AQA board) is doing packaging for fragrance products n_n;
Holy crap. You need to know about design movements? Wuuuut? My teacher - fail of a teacher - didn't even teach us this. And same here, I'm definitely going to fail and my coursework isn't going to be able to make up for my lost marks. Heh. I'm too busy procrastinating to revise. My god. I need to revise. Do you know any other topics we have to learn? Thanks~ n_n

The spec.

I haven't revised much... I got an A in ya mock of last years section b paper. My teacher thinks sect. A will be all about the packaging and not the bottle(s) itself. I got one of the cgp books for the exam, I fell asleep about 2 hours ago while reading it!!! But I'm aiming for an A so...

I'm cramming too n_n I'm learning the whole Product Design book from front to back until 7am. And then I'm sleeping throughout the rest of the day at school. And I'm really pissed at my teacher for not teaching me what I'm supposed to be learning since she assumes that my class, which is made up with both Year 9s and 11s from different sets (more in the bottom sets), is going to fail anyway so she's not bothering teaching which is bulls`hit. =='' *procrastinates*
