General Thoughts of Industrial Technology Timber Exam (3 Viewers)

[Salehhh]

How'd you people find the exam? Multiple choice was probs the most difficult. But overall, found it alright.

 

[hcornay]

Overall easy except the plinth quesdtion which I don't think I'll get full marks for.

MC was OK. You just had to read carefully. Corrected two MC just b4 the end of the exam, that I had done wrong !

I used biscuit joint for alternative to the butt joint. What did everyone else do?

16 a) Wasn't too sure what what to write, but I got 1 page
16 b) Open ended - Allowed me to write 3.5 pages of general safety stuff I learnt from other subjects

Isn't a biscuit joint as type of widening joint?
I did a dovetail joint for that one

I don't do timber, but for section 3, did you guys actually talk about strategies to establish and maintain a safe work culture? or did you just write about safety equipment and techniques?
What long-term strategies (in order to maintain safe work culture) did you guys talk about?

Yeh i spoke aboustrategies to establish and maintain safe work culture.. (safe working scheme such as someone is outsourced as a speaclist too explain to staff. Also spoke about regulations, incentives, investment in PPE etc..)

and yeh i also used dovetail joint

What was the answer to question 6 of the multiple choice the one about the purpose of dovetailed nailing in timber?

 

[mr_timn]

To strengthen the joint (I think that was D?), it makes it less easy for the nail to get forced back out

 

[mr_timn]

Our teacher reckoned it was the easiest paper he had seen in a long time, I'm annoyed I got the bent nail question wrong, I had to get the out all the time on my project, too bad I couldn't find pincers and just kept using pliers instead...

yeah i said D for that one aswell, was Q8 (c)?

 

[mr_timn]

yeah i said D for that one aswell, was Q8 (c)?

Was that the scaling question? If so, it was 1:25 because it was 90:1600

 

[hcornay]

yeah Q7 was 1:25. Q8 the one about the aim of sustainable forestry I think i answered D instead of C. Im pretty sure its C but im not sure.

The exam wasn't bad but I missed the part of the diagram that pointed out the plinth... So I had no idea what a plinth was and described attaching a completely different piece of a cabinet... haha

 

[Any-mouse95]

what did you get for the last MC question about the laquers? was it b or d?

Made that mistake as well, lost an easy three marks and I got (D) for the last question

 

[hcornay]

does anyone know what the b6 cut off will be for this subject?

 

[Salehhh]

does anyone know what the b6 cut off will be for this subject?

I'm assuming 85+ ?

 

[cnewbs]

i thought the multiple choice was the easiest ever!
only one i didn't get was the one about the dovetail nail.. because when you use a dovetail joint you don't use nail, so i was confused.

 

[cnewbs]

i used a stopped rebate joint, it was all i could think of really

 

[cnewbs]

i think i did d, i can't remember which one was which. but when we left the exam we went and talked to our teacher and one of the other boys had the opposite to what i had only to realise he didn't double the answer for the two coats.

 

[cnewbs]

i said to rebate bits of wood in the corners of the plinth then screw up through the bottom of the cabinet to attach it.
if there wasn't a diagram pointing out what the plinth was i wouldnt of had any idea either.
