    Product Design In One Year
    So i've been offered the chance to do Product Design, AS and A2 in one year (AQA).

    But would people recommend this with A2 Art and A2 CAD along side it? I've coped ok with the work this year, just i know that A2's do get more involved.

    Cheers

    Not 100% sure about AQA coursework, but OCR coursework wasn't hard, but just very long and time consuming, and I would have certainly found it hard to do in one year!

    I know that there's two 2 hour exams (AS+A2), then two small c/w projects for AS and a big, personal project, for A2. Is this the same for OCR then?

    Ahh, no, OCR has a 6 hr AS exam, and then a 2 hr 30 minutes exam at A2.

    Ahaa ok, sounds like AQA might be the easier course, time wise that is.
