2. Top Tips Time yourself. 1 mark 1 minute.
•Do not spend too long on the first section. This is the design section based on the pre-release material. It is tempting to get carried away on the drawings and not leave enough time for the rest of the paper.
•Be careful with the wording of the question. Highlight/underline command and key words and make sure you have answered the specified points e.g if the question asks you to compare the handle don’t write about the other parts
If the question gives you information on where the marks are awarded, make sure you do it.
•Tick off the important key words as you complete them. This makes it difficult to forget something or to write about something that you don’t need to.
•For the long answer write a few bullet pointed notes in the corner before you start then go on to write in full sentences in the allocated space. This prevents you
