For our home ec exam we (well I) made Napalm using Tropicana Orange Juice and , Styrafoam and Petrol. Hardly going to end up on Masterchef, but maybe I'll get a C for "creative'


Oh wait, I don't do Home Ec....

For our home ec exam we (well I) made Irish Stew out of apples, mouldy bananas, and old school uniforms. Hardly going to end up on Masterchef, but maybe I'll get a C for "creative'

The section "Being an Effective Housewife" is the best one for revision, it comes up a lot - chapter 23 in Home-Ec Matters Textbook.

Doesn't that smiley represent anxiety? Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm starting to study it (and maybe learn something) for the first time! Our teacher did absolutely NOTHING with us over the past 3 years; it's up to me to scrape myself a pass. What I do know about HE is pieced together from Business, Science (even though they're both compulsory, it's a bit of a blessing in a disguise; at least I don't have to look over the body or budgeting) and a little bit of Technology.
Does anybody have any predictions on trends or questions that always show up? We had to buy exam papers but we've only done 1 since September. I actually did out several others, but when I asked her to correct them she wouldn't! What am I to supposed to do? Good luck everyone who actually HAS a decent teacher :L

Textiles seems to come up nearly every year so going over that.Technology has'nt come up for a while.Going to look over consumer,budgets and meal planning.Its great that 50% of the marks are already done so get half the exam right and should get a good honour.Good luck tomorrow.Great to be finished

I got a B in the pre with no study so I'm fairly easy going about the exam tomorrow. My cooking practical was pretty bad though, I didn't finish my washing up in time.. And the cushion I made is desperate! BUUUT whatever. I hate home ec, I don't plan on keeping it up for LC.

Main reason I hate it is because ALL the home ec teachers in my school are horrible.. Everybody I've ever asked even from other schools have said they have mean home ec teachers too. Is it just a given that every home ec teacher is evil?! :P

i wish..:p

Weeell, good luck lads! :L I might do some studying now before the exam. I'm fairly good at bull****ting home ec though!

Ummm is it bad that I was finished after forty minutes?

The thing is, I felt like I did pretty well. Like, not A standard, especially not with my practical, but that exam went fine. The short questions were grand, didn't love the long questions but I got by graaand and even did an extra one, despite never having used a sewing machine I made up some crap. Totally ignoring home ec worked fine...

And I'm finished now.

Is the part where you cook like Masterchef? Sounds like fun, though my culinary skills stretch as far as Pot Noodles and Baked Beans...

Dinner is served!
