Smudge as little as possible but you can get away with it if it is minimal and if it doesn't look too bad.
The 2008 exam was much easier than the 2007 paper in my opinion. So if want a good paper to do - I would recommend the 07 paper or earlier.
You should definitely have already worked out at least the first two questions by the end of reading time. However, don't rush it.
My guess on the exam:
hidden line question and choosing the correct view
Missing line details
Giving you a 3D object then transferring it to an orthogonal drawing
Specialists used in design process
Basically know method, material, media
There are 3 types of questions that are asked (generally):
* In your answer explain why these formats would be appropriate...(relate back to target audience, context, purpose)
* Identify one dominant design principle/element and describe how it has been [effectively] used in the design...(see general rule)
* Explain how line, shape and colour have or have not been used effectively together to promote the
restaurant...(I usually write about how effectively and successfully they used the element/principle then list down all the good points about it) )
But a general rule used for these types of questions:
1. List the the design element
2. Write down exactly where you see it (ie, on the figure)
3. Relate it back to purpose and HOW it does it (target audience, purpose, context, draws attention to a particular product, highlights a particular thing, does the design element/principle create a link a link between product, does it grab the viewer's attention)
I'd leave the design brief until last. You can quickly whip something up (ie, add colour, draw a picture) if and when you're pressed for time. I would do all the theory first and get that out the way.
