AQA Product Design A-Level Revision

Sorry to hear that you are struggling

One of the best ways is to just take notice of your surroundings, look at products around you and ask yourself the following questions:
1)What is it made from
2)How was it made e.g what processes
3)Why was it made e.g what function does it fulfil, what problems does it solve?

This is a good way to increase your product knowledge and the knowledge of the manufacturing processes is takes to create these things.

Some good resources in order of complexity and study level are here:

If you dont understand a process e.g die casting then if you type the process into youtube there are always really good videos on it, personally i find watching something much easier to understand than when it is written down


I have some notes from when i was doing A-level, if you tell me which topics you are particularly stuck on i will see if i have that and if so i will post it in this thread for you.

TSR also has a Mental Health support society where you can receive advice and support for your MH

Does anyone the best way to revise Product Design, my teacher has not taught me anything for the whole of Yr12, as there are other issues going on I am having to focus more on the theory so that I am able to still do well for the exam.
I have the textbook, however it does not help at all.
I have tried past exam papers, they don't help much at all.
I have tried to speak to my teacher, however they just said, "look it up online" and things along the lines of that as well.
Please help me, I am starting to panic because I have already had to drop an A-Level due to mental health issues and I need to do well on my other 2 A-Levels.

This is literally me right now. I'm in Yr 12 and my teachers have taught me absolutely nothing. I have 2 teachers and one of them isn't even a product design teacher! I am just wondering as you are probably in yr 13 right now and even finished your product design a level how it was?
