Yeah, I did it. It was alright on the whole. There were some difficult questions but nothing too bad. I hope I've done alright, I actually revised for it! Engineering is the most boring thing to revise for. :redface:

There were entire concepts in that paper that we hadn't covered properly, like examples of systems control technology.


I know what you mean - the last question, about 'sustainabilty' was a nightmare - 5 marks! Some of the questions were misleading and repetitive, I thought, especially when trying to trick you with the 'supplier / manufacturer / retailer' part. Overall, not too difficult, but took me the full 90 minutes (finished with about 30 seconds left).

Interestingly, though, I did it at the same place as Starsailor, a college near to where we live. About 25 people started the exam - by the end, there was only three of us left! People found it so difficult that they were leaving after about 40 minutes, so hopefully the grade boundaries will be low!
