Revising for your 2 hour D&T written paper can be quite daunting. The content covered in this exam is vast, so regular revision of topics and self-testing is vital. Here are my recommendations to stay on top of your revision from the start:
- Use your Bigger Picture Sheets to regularly revise topics
- Create yourself topic sets of flashcards on Quizlet or ask your teacher to set you a set of flashcards on a range of topics
- Use your Collins AQA GCSE 9-1 Complete revision & practice book. Use the tick list on pages 4 and 5 to work your way through topics. https://collins.co.uk/products/9780008227401
- Take a look at your D&T teachers website for on the go mobile revision, 100x flashcards to download and print and some other new ways to revise: https://missstead.wixsite.com/missstead/revision-tips
- Finally, 'Knowledge Maps' work your way through these knowledge maps once you have covered certain topics in lesson: https://technologystudent.com/equip_flsh/knowled1.html
