The Graphics one doesn't look too bad. I hope they don't ask for a complex product design because then I'd be dropping a lot of marks. :tongue:

I hate the graphics - I can't draw animals to save my life!

For images, I'd recommend practising drawing 2 or 3 different animals that you could use in your designs.

I'm glad that controlled assessment is over, it was hectic going through it. I'll be even more glad when the exams are over :smile:

When's your next exam?

First ones are on Wednesday: IT in the morning and then RE in the afternoon. I'm feeling prepared so hopefully they shouldn't be too bad. My only worry at the moment is English Lit Unit 1.

Lit will be fine as long as you learn quotes( I took it last year and got an A*)
