Technology

The written examination which lasts two hours is worth 40% of the total marks. It is essential that all students make full use of the pre-release design focus for each specialist subject area. Students should develop their ideas based on the design theme and make lots of sketches and annotated drawings before they go into the examination hall. However, they are not allowed to take any sketches or drawings into the examination room during the exam itself.

It is essential that they must bring sets of colouring pencils and drawing equipment to the exam.

A list of topics that should be revised has been given to all students.

All students have been given the opportunity to buy the revision books during Year 10. If they have been lost you can buy them using the following ISBN codes for each specialist subject area.

• Design + Technology Food Technology Lonsdale Revision Guide ISBN: 1-903068-48-7
