Construction studies Q1

Darius.Tr

Hello, I'we a huge problem with question 1 on a construction studies paper, as its a compulsory question there's no way of going around it so ill just have to learn them off by heart....Does anyone know if there's a list of drawings that can come up as question one?

Check the syllabus maybe. I know they'll only ask 10 of the 19 in q1, so make sure you know whichever ten they are, if they're not in the syllabus your teacher should know them.

Like any subject, anything can come up really. However if you look at the last number of years you'll get a good indicator of what can come up:

2010 - external wall, window & roof
2009 - external wall & suspunded tumber floor
2008 - ground floor, hearth & fireplace
2007 - external wall, window & roof
2006 - external wall & door
2005 - ground floor, external wall up to first floor
2004 - external wall & 'lean-to' porch roof

Basically there's no set guidelines as you can see, but there is a lot of repition in it. Be able to draw an external wall, after that start learning them off as you have time but have a good few prepared. You usually are asked for 4 main measurements also.... again learn the external wall and then focus on the others as you have the time.

Any more questions you have please don't be shy!

edit:
when I say there are no set guidelines, there is of course the syllabus (I linked to it in a post yesterday you can search it!), what I mean is that like any exam it's anyones guess as to what can come up! but there are guidelines in the sense that everything you need to know is in the syallbus - like all subjects! Hope that makes sense...

Might just throw these up. Some of the drawings here on this website. They dont look to be an A1 standard tbh, but still might help you/some people out.
