do you need to be formal in your DT NEA?

I'm currently doing my NEA for AQA GCSE DT, and was just wondering if I'd be marked down for being sarcastic or informal in any way. it's kind of a stupid question but I was just a bit worried :confused:
Hey there, I have done both the GCSE and A Level NEA before and I used a formal tone.

I wouldn't think that you will get marked down for such language uses, as long as you communicate your design clearly.
However, if I were you, I would try to avoid thes as much as possible as I don't see why it would be beneficial to your score.
Still if you were to use it, I would suggest to use it wisely (not excessive). Considering that examinars read a lot of NEAs, maybe tricks like this would help touch up your presentation, who knows :rolleyes:

Finally, content and quality of work is way more important than your tone :wink:

Thanks! Unfortunately no, I am not going to be doing DT for A-Level, though it would be fun!
