AQA A2 Product Design (3D) PROD3 10th JUNE 2016

Scroll to see replies

Basically I know three design movements, a range of products for safety, ergonomics, anthropometrics, inclusive design, iconic and tech development. I know most the A2 content of design and market influences and I did the AS resit so I know most stuff on that. Do I need to know any other things?

when you talk about an inclusive/good design are you referring to an iconic design or something like a disabled toilet and its features? and how you answer a question testing seems quite tricky

Omg yeah sorry I meant iconic design haha

And sorry to be a pain but have you got any notes you could possibly send as you sound quite prepared? haha :smile:

Its came up before have a look at the past papers! But it would be like 'Compare and contrast the designers and product within two design movements of your choice' or 'Discuss the characteristics of a design movement of your choice and key designers within it'. Something like that! :-)

Hi guys,
I was just wondering is it worth knowing a few topics of the book quite thoroughly, or is it better knowing less information but considerably more topics.

I am hoping that anything to do with health and safety doesn't come up. And I would say...if you think that a certain topic wouldn't come up, look over it just in case

HELP ME-
Question regarding marks and grades.

I got 155/165 out of coursework over AS and A2, and a C in AS theory, and really need an A overall for my A level to get the grades for my Uni offer.

Does anyone know roughly how well I need to do for the PROD3 exam on friday in order for me to get an A? I am slightly panicking as I can never answer any of the past papers and never get higher than 10/24 etc.

any help or guesses would be really appreciated!!

A few topics haven't come up in a while or in fact never come up at all. I've revised robots and materials testing therefore. Something to do with nanotechnology could also pop up.
