I've seen a female DCG teacher before, however an attractive DCG teacher is hard to believe!

so anyone got any tips for the mocks im awfully f*cked
As my teacher always used say for JC, and the same applies for the LC, 2 half drawings are worth more than one full drawing. Don't spend all your time trying to get out one drawing perfectly and leave no time for the other, good timing is essential, know when you have to move on with a drawing!0 -

Plenty of time before the 19th of June to prepare for DCG. Don't dwell on the mock outcome for too long, need to keep going! On the bright side, going to the States the following day. Nice relaxing way to end the Leaving Cert; if the work is put in .. there won't be any need for panicking 0

I know the feeling Had mine yesterday , it was exhausting to say the least , constantly drawing and thinking for 3 hours , needless to say my french exam after was terrible. As for DCG it was okay , i got lets say the "jist" of most questions , Slightly annoying though the teachers change the questions to suit what we had covered , meaning it wasnt an actual mock , yeah it was easier but not realistic Drawing can be so hard at times .. 0 -

Okay I'll post it here with a spoiler here as I don't want to go onto the mocks thread myself for fear of polluting my eyes with something I don't want to see myself
Okay so for the short questions in Section A, these are all of the top of my head as I had to hand that sheet up, there was a Shortest Distance between two skew lines question, there was a parabola given the point and axis (I think) and it required you to also find the center of curvature at that point, there was pictorial view (which I don't know much about cause we haven't done it yet!) and lastly there was a lamina and you had to locate the traces and show the true angle I think.
For Section B-1 there's a trimetric projection question of a sort of rounded post box. For B-2 there's and interpenetration of two triangular prisms, one of course is at an angle so you have to do an auxiliary and finally for B-3 there's a lamina question, this is where I messed up so hugely, you're given two planes ABC and BCD and you have to find the dihedral angle, determine the traces and the true shape of ABC, I was so prepared for two planes with no common point to get a plane with two common points put my off hugely and I couldn't remember how to do it!
Now we only have dynamic mechanisms done so far so I'm only sort of describing the others as I see them for C-2 there's a hyperbolic paraboloid based on the Olympic Velodrome, for C-3 it's a tent is as best as I can describe it as! For C-4 it's a fairly standard cam and linkage question, nothing really tough there, and finally for C-5 it's an assembly of a sort of crane pulley block.
Now these all obviously come with a health warning, my teacher told me afterwards that he also had another paper so he was going to give that to us another time also, so this obviously isn't the only DCG mock paper around the place so don't base your whole exam on it being this paper and if it isn't don't come crying to me!0 -

Is it just me or is the DCG exam not easy to predict anyway? Like skew lines just come up everywhere...? Know all your shortest distances etc., dihedral angle, true shapes and you're sorted for half the marks I reckon!?0 -

Syllabus is on education.ie. as far as I can remember.
Gears is part of the dynamic mechanisms chapter which is one of the 5 options.
I would presume ye are not covering that option if your teacher said its not needed
So it's on the syllabus but you don't have to cover it
Thanks for the reply. The syllabus on education.ie is the same one on t4.ie and yes that does say that 'gear profiles' are on the course.
We're doing Dynamic Mechanisms as one of our options and Actually we did cover involute gears fairly briefly at the start of 6th year but not epicycloidal gears and when I was going through them at the weekend I couldn't understand how to them so I asked the teacher, who didn't completely understand them either. He then checked the syllabus on Curriculum Online to see if epicycloidal gears were on the course and as it turns out gears weren't mentioned on it at all.
But the syllabus on t4.ie and education.ie seems more credible than the one on Curriculum Online so I think I'll continue studying them. Thanks for the help! 0 -
