2012 Exam

[RTandon]

Really hoping there is someone lurking who did the exam yesterday... anyone?
If so, how do you think you went?

Personally, I found it really long. I managed to finish, but the last few questions I answered were extremely rushed. Which sucks. But no one in my class managed to finish either, which is a tad bit worrying!

Hoping rest of the state was in the same boat!

I think the general consensus from our school was that the exam was odd, to say the least.

It seemed longer compared to previous exams, I didn't have time to go back and answer two questions that I had left until the end.
Section A was particularly lengthy, considering they only gave us one product to analyse it seemed like it dragged for a bit.
Section B was pretty good though, granted there seemed to be very few constraints/considerations for use for later questions.

Overall, it wasn't too hard, but it was certainly long. Also, I was quite surprised seeing there was only one or two questions relating to obsolescence, manufacturing and the sustainability models.

The questions in section A required a lot of thought. I spent way too much time on section A that I didnt have time to finish section B. But the best thing about it, I get to do it all again this friday for food tech.

Yay! People actually exist who did the exam here!
Haha

But yeah, that's true! I did Section B first and I ended up spending too long on my design so I didn't get enough time to properly answer Section A.

From a textiles point of view, I found the brief reaaallly odd. We needed to design formal clothing for a festival. That confused me a lot.

I'm hoping I can still get in the 40s even though I didn't answer as well as I could have!
