Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

GCSE Design and Technology NEA

Hi, I’m in year 10 and we are doing some practice on the nea context part of the exam (product design). I chose the brief ‘supporting developing countries’ and we have to complete the whole of the nea context which is supposed to be about 25 a3 PowerPoint slides I believe. We have been given an AQA example response but not much else so can someone send me what each slide should contain in depth, or an example response that is helpful. Or if anyone’s done the 9-1 course and got a good grade on their coursework could send me theirs or give me some advice?

I got a grade 9 in my coursework this year - I can send it next year (for your year 11 NEA) as right now it could be moderated by AQA and I do not want it leaked on the internet.

Yes I am aware. I was talking about marks. What I was asking was what mark he got out of 100 to get a grade 9

98/100 - but it is provisional, I believe our school assumed 90/100+ for a grade nine.

I literally submitted my NEA last week and I got 97/100, which is equivalent to a grade 9. How are you guys revising for the exam? Do you find the exam easy? Do you have access to any more exam papers, as AQA have only provided the sample assessment material on their website?

I would say that these are rough grade boundaries:
Mark Grade
10 1
20 2
30 3
40 4
50 5
60 6
70 7
80 8
90 9

Hi, thanks for all the replies! For those who said they’d got grade 9s this year and we’re going to send their coursework could you please send a copy so I can see how good it needs to be. The briefs were fairly easy this year.
