Revision chill banged out all the past papers apart from specimen one and got 90/100 on my NEA (made a coffee table) hopefully its a decent paper, not sure what the maths questions will be like they always seem to throw me off a bit.

Anyone else worried? There's so much stuff that could come up!

Don't worry, I am also so worried 😅. I think the problem is that we have no clue whats going to come up in the exam, that is EVERYTHING. No idea what the maths is going to be, no idea what the 6 markers or the 12 marker is going to be. Hopefully we have all done enough revision for it. If you have done all the past papers and your getting good scores in them, its likely youll do well tomorrow :smile:

I found this video, her channel has good information too. But in the first 10 minutes, she shows all the topics maths questions, 9 markers and 12 markers that have come up. The photo is really bad but it is a screenshot in the video and she's shown all the topics that have come up. Green is once, orange twice and red 3 times.

It seems so, I think this may be across both papers but I don't remember. I think I've seen quite a few questions about suitability of injection moulding but not the process yet so they may ask that.

I don't think it'll be too bad. The grade boudaries have historically been quite good (80/120 for an A*)

HUH???? I thought i was like 100/120 for an A*. well thanks for that, it makes me more confident for tomorrow haha

No not at all, I watched the youtube video in the middle of this thread and im just going over all the things that have never come up in the exams yet. Hopefully this will help me. The maths is only around 20 marks so you can still do really well if the maths goes badly.

I think it is kinda hard to predict when there is so much on the specification they haven't chosen yet. For the material questions, I find it easier to focus on the picture or example product and write what the product may need. I hope they do a health and safety question because that's an easy one to waffle on.
