can someone tell me the best way to revise for this, bit late to ask because the exam is tomorrow but any tips?
try to link the picture or example given to properties ie if they talk about plywood for a game, you know the game parts should be light weight, good strength to weight ratio etc
look at the marks to gove you an idea of how much detail is needed
look at the command words on the spec, ie evaluate means they want adv, disadv and a conclusion


Does anyone have questions based on the advanced information?

it wasnt too bad, the isometric rlly threw me off and the critical path, the arts and crafts also was a bit dodgy but other than that it was fine hbu?
the 9 marker on arts and crafts was a bit nasty, would have thought 9 marker topic would have been put on the advanced info...

Same really. I completely misunderstood the isometric drawing, I thought the top drawing of the orthographic drawing was supposed to be the back side of the box. The rest were fine I think.
