READ THROUGH SOME
COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
     TRUE OR FALSE
•A GCSE in any of the DT courses is more difficult than other
 GCSE courses.
 FALSE: The effort and work involved is equal. You are
 assessed internally by your teachers so you can improve your
 grade during the course.

 many successful male designers, technologists and master chefs
 there are.

 use computers to assist you with figure templates.
•I need specialist equipment at home to do Textiles, Food or
  Product Design

  so you do not need any specialist equipment at home.

•I can decide what I want to make for my portfolio project.
  TRUE: You decide on the product but the exam board sets
  the theme.

  in being a chef or designer.

  valuable and transferable life skills that can be applied and used
  throughout life while studying at university and entering a
