i didn't like the milk question, especially since it was a question about advertising in a section about nutrition, that was a bit weird

It was strange.
I felt I knew what I was meant to say but the questions asked us stuff that we wouldnt of really focused to much on during study.
Like the legislation thing was kinda confusing because all the past papers treated that area very differently and they just decided to change it this year *sigh*

I finished at 4.30 but I felt I had written the most that I possibly could of.

good luck everyone.

I personally feel that I have aced this exam, it was exactly what i was expecting. There we're only two questions that stumped me.

Q6: Which of the following best determines the suggested selling price of a product?
(A) The break-even point
(B) Cost and availability of raw materials
(C) Predicted price consumers are prepared to pay
(D) Recovery of production costs with no profit margin
I was tossing up between A and C for a while, I finally picked C. Not sure if thats right or not :eek:

and the one about the feasibility study.

I did Q16 for my first extended response:

Q16 - Food Manufacture

(a) Outline reasons for preserving foods [4]
(b) Describe causes of food deterioration and spoilage. Use examples to support your answer [6]
(c) Propose preservation processes for a selected food. Clarify the principles behind each preservation process proposed. [10]
Found it every easy got about 9.5 pages

For Nutrition I did question 18
Q18

Explain the aspects of nutrition that need to be considered for the promotion of optimum health in a specific group you have investigated.
I did adolescent girls got 8 pages on this.


What did everyone get for multiple choice i got

  1. D
  2. A
  3. D
  4. C
  5. C
  6. C
  7. B
  8. B
  9. A
  10. A

The exam had so much that wasnt in it and that stuff was what i studied. A couple of the mc was hard and so was nutrition but mostly coz i didnt studied cvd and diabetes. FPD was good. Overall probably an average mark.
