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 bookUse 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
