How is everyone studying for DAT trials?

[vyca]

I have no idea how to study for it!!

My teacher just told me to know our "innovation case studies" really well, but didnt spend any time revising for the exam (what with the mdp due and all).

My DNT exam is after English Paper 2 Modules (Advanced) so im going to be absolutely bummed after it
My advice would be to look at past papers and see if there is a general trend of the style of questions they ask.

I'll try and tackle it in sections
Section 1: multiple choice. Just know the design process and some key terms like "entrepreneur" and you should be fine.
Section 2: requires you to think like a designer, what problems does this have, what solutions can you think of
Section 3: this is an essay. I'm not that sure how you can study for this but just have a go anyway

Attached is the 2015 DT exam

Sorry i wasnt much help but feel free to flick me a pm or question on here if you need any clarification

How did everyone find the Design And Tech Trial today?

CSSA one i though was very kind. The essay was relatable, the longer responses (Sect II) were quite easy (the only one that gave me the slightest grief was Q13)

Multiple choice was generally easy, one or two harder ones in there but on the whole the only thing I can complain about is that I had to sit there for 1/2 hour doing nothing lol

I found the MC confusing, there would always be two answers I kept tossing up between ++ i didnt revise sustainability and had any good examples so i hated the extended response! but the short answers were good

The multiple choice was confusing lol there was just 2 on some questions i was just like this one or that one?
The extended respnse i feel as though wouldve been hard had i not been studying sustainable and renewable resources just an hour earlier!
I agree that the short answers were very kind

I honestly reckon the DT exams are getting easier and easier, its getting simple. Just remember definitions and your set!

Yeah this is true, although a couple of years ago they moved from a 6 and a 9 marker, to one 15 mark essay. But that is the only aspect of it I think that is honestly made it any harder.

What are you worried about specifically the MC or short answers?

The short answers have a way of screwing me over for some reason, I end up losing the majority of my marks there.. Hbu?

Does anyone actually study for D&T? Honestly, I've never studied for it and always done well. I wouldn't even know what to study for if I tried
