Just got an old DT textbook to learn more about mechanisms. Things like cams,linkages,gears and pulleys.
Using my Resistant Materials DT Textbook for processes,materials and adhesives.
Then I did the 2016 past paper to understand timing.
When do we get the results?

I'm not sure but I think they reply at the end of month whether you're offered an interview.

Kinda of odd.
All the other years for the scholarships had several threads with tonnes of pacts and TSRians on them.
I wonder why it's so quite this year.

No, I haven't heard anything yet either.
I'm pretty sure we get an email along with our teachers at the end of February.
Do you reckon we can talk about it now?How long did they say we have to wait?
Oh okay, I'm not sure, we should wait longer though just in case, as they said no talking about the exam on social media.
My tech teacher informed me today that the results would be emailed to us on Thursday. Best of luck to everyone :smile:
