Technical Graphics

BMH

How did everyone do? I thought the short questions were easy enough, and the long ones a little bit tougher, but all managable and definitely easier than previous years. Thought I'd be getting a C but now I'm hoping for a low A/high B.

Jello

Yeah some parts of the long questions were a bit tricky.
I did questions 1, 2, 5 + 6.
I'd say I got a C.

the short question were preety easy
as for the long questions they were alright
although it took me like a hour to do question 1
i did questions 1,2,3 and 4 but ran out of time when doing question 4
i didnt think time would be such a issue hoping for a B

BMH

I did 2, 4, 5 and 6.

Fitzo

failed...i was cramped beside a wall, and didnt get finished....full marks on the short answers though;)

I thought it was easier than I expected, short questions were fairly easy, mucxh easier than other years anyway, i loved the question where they asked you what the sign was telling you to do, "the sign is telling people to put their rubbish in the bin" lol. Long questions were fialry hard but they were in line with other years I felt, fairly fair I thought. I did questions 2, 3, 5 and 6. I did really good on 3 and 5 but messed up 6 and 2.

Afterwards, people in my class were telling me that question 1 took ages, thank god I didn't do it, I don't understand auxiliarys anyway.

Woohoo, Junior Cert is over for me!!!!

There was no auxillary!

Oh rite lol, I barely even looked at question 1 becasue the auxilirialy is usually there and I don't understand that so I didn't even bother to look at question 1

Short Qs were alright On the long Qs , 1 took a while But it was easy anyway

ya it was just a end view but the question took me like a hour
got it all right (i hope) in the end
question 2 was a doddle
question 3 was grand up until the very end were i left a small bit out
question 4 started this at 12.17!! panicking (fecking question 1 took so long)
only got part a of question 4 done which was to draw what you were given...

Ah that poster posted about his short questions 7 years ago. I don't think yours are going to be the same.

Anyway, on the subject of Technical Graphics, how did any of yous do? I've always been fairly good at it and we have probably the best technical graphics teacher in the country teaching us so most of our class usually gets A's, hope I did too.

It's always nice to hear positives on teachers.

The course now is very different from when the thread opened though.

Some detail http://www.ncca.ie/uploadedfiles/Factsheets/TechGr_factsheet.pdf

Typical marking scheme from the 2008 test. https://www.educate.ie/files/schemes/Junior%20Cert%20Marking%20Scheme%202011-2006/JC%20Technical%20Graphics%20HL/2008%20JC%20Technical%20Graphics%20HL.pdf

even that's out of date now.

Oh, really? We've simply been doing past papers for 3rd year, and it didn't seem to be like there was any real change in what was within the course, when looking at the different questions pre-2008 and post-2008. Is it simply the marking scheme that has changed?

I haven't received my Technical Graphics results but i know i did terrible because for some idiotic reason i was having a tough time with drawing Oblique! i actually spent like an hour doing that? wtf is wrong with me?

I really don't think enough time is given to complete all the questions. In order to give a good drawing which is neat and well planned I need to take my time. 35 minutes a question just doesn't give that and everyone had to rush.

Oh god how I love tech graph. 95% and my teacher told me I should be very proud of the result. Mock question on elipse and parabola was according to my tech graph teacher "one of the hardest questions to come up in a tech graph exam he's ever seen", and I ended up getting 68/70 in the question. Absolutely delighted with the result.

Did your paper have some sort of Handicap sign for the rotations question or a train for the orthographic projection?

NO that was not my paper I had stairs for orthographic projection

I got 49% because i had a bad day that day, it won't happen again.

It happens in TG. When one thing goes wrong in TG it seems it just causes a million other things to go wrong, luckily for me I stayed calm and managed to get it in the end. Were you doing Higher or Ordinary?

Ordinary, I'm dropping TG after JC since I'm not capable of sitting higher level TG.

Ah, **** one. Tech Graph kind of works for some people and then doesn't work for some. Heard Design and Communication Graphics (the TG follow-on subject) is far harder than TG so I guess you'd be right in dropping it.
