    What do you mean they tell you what to draw but it can be a combination of drawings.

    None :D but I have a pretty good memory of what foundations with a fire place and suspended timber floor and a stairs look like. Other than that no idea

    You think you didn't learn a lot of theory. We did 4 drawings, u value, passive house and a bit on wheelchairs in 2 years. And why stairs they're way to detailed

    yeah we didnt even do u values we did stairs roof and water sytem and thats it i like the stairs i find them easy to draw. most of the questions are coomon sense though arent they like question 10 you can normally bul**** on about something for a page and get marks if a healthy and saftey question comes up it will be so handy

    Its common sense to a point but certain things can't be bull...... and all the details in drawings is a pain. Just hate the damn subject. At least I'm a have half the marks got already anyway

    We can rule out eaves detail since it came up last year. I'm thinking electricity will appear since its been 3 years since its appeared last and I'm hoping sound comes up too

    Realistically how many drawings can they actual ask I know there's like 30 but it seems like they cycle the same 5 or double one up to throw you off

    Q2 Wheelchair Accessibilty or Saftey
    Q3 A renovation question
    Q5 U-value
    Q6 Planning - low envrio impact
    Q10a MHRV
    Q4,8 or 9 will be either sound, sewage/waste management - due to septic tank charge yoke/ Heating water system - Water taxes

    Ah lads, it's a nice subject! Just do question 6 and 10 (a), they overlap in places, u-value and if you have to learn the 20 drawings may as well do the 2. If not, pray for safety.
    I'd put my money on stairs, door and some foundation. Wouldn't be surprised if it is the split foundation.
    Q1 generally seems to be foundations, wall and eaves. You just need to know the difference between passive house and timber framed houses.
    Q7 can be really anything, stove, stairs, roof and so on.

    If we get something like in 2014 or 2013 where in Q1 there was a combination of 2 drawings I am f*cked... I know how to draw something when I know how it is called but dont really understand format of a question and measurements in it, it tells me nothing ;x

    If we get threshold like on mock I would be so happy it was so easy :D
    Stairs won't come up in Q1 that's for sure they were there in 2013, and they also never repeat same type of drawing so I think that roof also is not going to be there ;P

    Anyway good luck to everyone and wish u all at least 40% :D

    How did everyone find it ? I was over the moon when i saw the door for Q1. Alot of people in my year were not happy with it though, however it was my best and favourite drawing. I thought the U-Values question was very time consuming however i found it a nice question and id say parts a and b counted for 50 of the 60 marks. I answered Q! , Q3 , Q5, Q6 and question 10. Overall i found it a nice paper hoever i was very short of time although i wrote 18 pages in total ( my hand was broke ) i cut my last question ( Question 3 ) a bit short as i had to allow myself time to re-read my other questions and drawing. What ye all think ?
