Complete AS and A2 Product Design Exam Revision Document.
I made this PDF resource specifically for the AS (unit 1) and A2 (Unit 3) Product Design exams. The resource includes the vital topics I selected condensed into 14 A4 pages. I have printed this resource and given it to my Year 13 and 12 groups who are completing the AQA exam board but this is also extremely beneficial to EDEXCEL and OCR. The resource includes the following topics with video URL's included which explain specific topics and processes:
