Yeah agreed, well hopefully we get something like that. I think technological developments is highly likely as its been a while since that came up? I'm focusing on the MP3 and telephone as they seem the easiest..just hope this exam goes well

I think two as mostly they ask to discuss two, like for the arts movements one they always say 'with reference to two' but i guess you could learn one in more depth than the other to gain as many marks as you can

The question will specify how many examples are required?

Sometimes they start with 'with reference to two different products...'

A in the CW and a D/C in the exam would equal to what?

Depends on the UMS but either a B or a C I'd say

For examples of products to discuss I've chosen the Apple Watch. There site has info & videos of the manufacturing process, material selection, design, technology and how it meets customers needs. I'll also be looking to Dyson, as they have a lot of information on sustainability.

would be great if the grade boundaries remained like last year as 44/84 for an A is doable i think

Me too. I have radio/MP3s (including iPod) and a TV for technology advancements and I have an iron, kettle and a car for products where we need to describe the manufacturing process, safety features etc

Yeah same, it seems to be one mark for a point, one for explanation, and sometimes marks for technical terms

After getting 84 UMS, assuming this paper is as easy as 2013, I need 52/84 for an A
