Introduction Dear Students, Parents and Carers,
Students often ask, ‘Are the mock exams important?’ ‘Do they count for anything?’ My answer is always an overwhelming YES!
The mock exams in December are a really important stage of a student’s preparation for their GCSE exams in the summer of 2021. In the same way that a marathon runner will train hard for their race and do their best to simulate the race day conditions, the mock exams give students the opportunity to sit a significant number of exams over an intense period of time. This gets them accustomed to the challenges and demands of the exam period.
The Department for Education has made it clear that they intend exams to take place as normal next summer. However, if circumstances change and they do not take place, how well students do in their mock exams is likely to be an important consideration in any centre assessed grades.
Their mock exams also offer them the chance to identify strengths and areas to work on in particular subjects. This will inform their revision going forwards.
Imberhorne 6th form together with other post-16 institutions will also use mock exam re-sults to inform their decisions when it comes to offering places on particular courses. All post-16 courses will have entry requirements.
The mock exams are really important. Take the time to prepare and revise properly and use them as a dry-run for the real thing in the summer.
Work hard and good luck!
Mr D Jones
Assistant Headteacher

SECTION A – Core Technical Principles
Revision guide
The depth of knowledge needed for Section A is not to KS4 GCSE level but to the level that you were taught during KS3 Sci-ence, textiles, electronics and resistant materials.
p24 - 27 Systems and control: recognise the difference between input, process and output and know simple electronic components and symbols.
36, 37 Forces. Know the difference between tension, compression, shear, torsion and bending forces and how they can act on differ-ent objects.
18 Metals:- ferrous, non-ferrous. What is the difference between them? Name ferrous and non-ferrous metals and know their properties and uses. Use of protective coatings to prevent ferrous metals from rusting. Eg. Paint, enamel, plastic coatings.
17, 23,
Timber:- basic principles of hardwoods and softwoods. The difference between them. Name them and their different properties. Manufactured Boards:- MDF, plywood and chipboard.
19 Plastics:- what is the difference between thermoforming and thermosetting plastics? Know each type of plastic, their properties and uses.
20, 46 Fabrics:- Natural fibres. What are they? How are they harvested? What are their origins?
20, 44 - 47, Materials sources and origins: have basic knowledge of natural/synthetic materials and how the raw materials are extracted and processed. Eg:- cotton is grown, plastics are manufactured using oil as the raw material.
16 Board:- name and describe types of board and their properties and uses.
14,15 Properties of materials. 74,75, 56, 57, Finishes: examples, uses and techniques/processes. Eg:- Spot varnishing, reasons for using it and how it is applied to a printed
product using screen printing. Stain protection on fabrics and textile products. 32, 33 Smart and modern materials:- Know what a smart or modern material is. What is the difference between them? What smart
materials react to their environment? How? Composite materials:- what is a composite material?
2, 3 Manufacture:- Production methods. Eg:- JIT – Just in Time manufacturing. Systems and automation
6, 7 Product sustainability:- ‘No product lasts forever’ points 1-6. ‘Some products aren’t designed to last but some are’ – points 1-4 . eg:- planned obsolescence, design for maintenance. What do these terms mean?
12,13 Powering systems:- renewable and non-renewable energy. What are the pros and cons of the different types of energy? 28, Mechanisms:- Types of motion, Function of a lever. Order of levers.
Mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio – see worksheets.
SECTION B – Specialist Technical Principles
20, 21 Stock forms:- what stock forms are used in textiles? Name of stock forms and primary sources eg silk from a silk worm.
21 and Power-Point
Manufacture of wool and cotton:- from raw material to finished product. What are the processes in turning animal fleece/wool to yarn? Cotton plant into yarn? Sequence/flow chart and or sketches. Be able to briefly explain what happens at each production stage.
20 Properties of silk fabric: - Why is this a useful fabric for products? Good for dyeing?
75 and PowerPoint Reinforcing/strengthening fabric:- Why are materials reinforced? Why is fabric strengthened? Laminating and interfacing
38, 39 Scale of production. What are the 4 scales of production? Why are products manufactured to different scales? Single use? Bespoke? Demand? Event/special occasion?..... How do manufacturing processes differ from one scale of production to another? Eg:- Hand-made v automated?
85 Printing processes:- Screen printing. Be able to explain the industrial printing process and its suitability for printing a sim-ple design on a t shirt. Be able to write notes and or sketches about it.
6, 7, 8, 9 Environmental, social and ethical impact of products. Why must designers consider these points during design and manu-facture of a product?
SECTION C – Designing and Making Principles 99, 96, 97
plus102
Specifications and key words:- What is a specification and why are they important to designing successfully? Suitability for the user:- Function. Ease of use. Aesthetic quality – the product’s appearance, design style, colour, shape and so on… Ergonomics – comfort, fit, feel….
96, Anthropometrics. What does this term mean? What needs to be measured? Eg:- distance between pupils when getting a new pair of glasses. Why must designers consider anthropometrics when designing products?
4,5, 68, 79, 90, CAD/CAM. Pros and cons. Speed? Accuracy? What else?
106, 107, 114
Modelling and prototyping: techniques used and reasons for making prototypes. Modelling materials or systems used to test ideas – identify methods relevant to textiles eg:- calico, computer generated design – CAD/CAM
- Percentages, Tessellation and area of shapes. Calculating wastage when cutting shapes from a sheet of material. You should know this from Maths. Don’t panic.
111, 108 Orthographic and Isometric Projection:- know the difference between the two types of drawing, how the drawings are constructed and their layout.
