How to revise for A-level DT theory?

Hi, does anyone have any advice on how to revise the theory aspect of Product Design A-level. Do you think flashcards would work, or just reading over the textbook as I have a test on the materials topic soon. Thanks!

Sorry you havent received any replies to this :console:

One of the best methods of revision i found were to look at the every day objects around me and ask myself the following questions; what is it made of? Why is it made from this material? How has it been made? What is working well with this design? and What could be improved?

Once you start asking yourself these questions and looking up the answers for things you arent sure of you are building up that questioning mindset and broadening your knowledge of manufacturing processes

Exam practice is obviously important but what works best for you in terms of if flash cards etc are helpful will be individual to how you best learn

Good revision resources include roymech, technologystudent and globalspec

If you want some easy passive revision then watch videos like inside the factory and how its made :smile:
