How to actually study for Viscom?

I'm stuck! I don't really know what to work on. I've been trying to practice technical drawing but I feel like I've done enough of that. Full practice exams are kind of hard to complete as you need the resource book and stuff. Argh! I don't know! Anyone have any tips?

My teacher has given us practice exams with the resource book.

Try focus on certain areas:
-Rendering: tone, different shapes, textures (wood, glass, mesh, plastic, chrome etc etc) and colour.
-Professional practice: just go over your notes and try sample questions
-Analysis: know every e and p and how to define they and how to describe the effects that they all have.

That's what I'm working on if it helps.  8)

just do heaps of practice exams. I did Vis.Com last year and i did several exams and focus on the section i had trouble with. Read past exams reports, i found it quite useful. Good Luck!!

why do you need to know definitions of e's and p's?

So that it will be easier to analyse the given posters and whatnot in the theory part of the exam.
