What you need to know for the Design and Technology Examination

Examination Structure


There are;

10 multiple choice questions
15 marks for a short response question and
15 marks for a essay based question

I strongly advise you look over these points

- Innovation and Emerging Technologies (You have to have an example of both to refer to for the examination)

- Know your factors affecting design (functional, aesthetics, etc) and be able to talk about them for designs they may give you in your examination

- Know all about Patents, Copyrights and Laws... Especially the agency that support them (IP Australia etc)

- Know about ethical and environmental issues that relate to design. You will probably have to answer questions about ethics.

- Look over your project and understand how you managed your project (E.g action plan, time plan etc) and how you organised resources.

- Also be familiarly with management approaches such as Total Quality Management and Management by Objectives.

- Know about data collection and analysis. This is about Primary and Secondary data and how you collect these (questionaries, surveys, etc)
