    I'm really hoping for an A1 this year and I don't care what questions come up cos I know it all off but what I think is most likely to come up is:

    For Section A

    -I'm thinking either the box (you know the whole digestion process box thing) for either fats or carbohydrates
    -Question about consumer studies probably like rights/responsibilities of consumers/retailers
    -Vitamin Q (role/effects of deficiency) / a mineral Q
    -Explain BMI & factors affecting it is also likely
    -I'm also terrified of a meat Q coming up, I don't think there's been one (at least in a few years) so it's likely
    -Labeling the egg/moulds/bacteria
    -Textile symbols
    -Something about babies, maybe specific dietary requirements or pregnancy
    -Folic acid

    Possibilities for Section B Q1

    Consumer trends/Economic unit/Factors influencing choices
    Fish/Meat
    Vitamin D/Calcium
    Obesity/Heart disease
    Folic acid
    Proteins
    Food labelling
    Food fortification
    Breads

    Section B Q's 2-5

    Elderly
    Microwave/Fridge (one of them is almost guaranteed)
    Household budget
    Freezing
    Home management system
    Food Processing
    Menu planning (coeliac/child/teenager - vegan/vegetarian is unlikely as it came up last year?)
    Family
    Dairy Products (yoghurt/milk/cheese)
    Children’s rights etc.
    Consumer Protection
    Consumer spending
    Hire Purchase Act
    Food Preservation
    Food Additives
    Calcium
    The Disabled
    Cholesterol

    Section C Q1

    Ventilation (99% sure it'll come up)
    Housing(styles/factors inv. choice/compare to past)
    Lighting (types)
    Energy (renewable/ways of decreasing use)
    Materials in the home (Floor especially)
    Planning interior design
    Buy vs rent home
    Windows / double glazing etc.

    It'll be interesting to see what comes up! :D
