Paper 5: Graphic Products — This is Paper 5: Graphic Products, worth 50 marks with a duration of 1h 15m. Section A (A1, A2, A3): completing accurate instrument drawings — pentagons, hexagons, isosceles triangles, lettering, CAD/CAM and adhesives. Section B: choose B4 (orthographic + sectional + textural rendering) OR B5 (isometric/planometric/two-point perspective + development nets). Drawing must use instruments, not freehand.

This insert must be used alongside the corresponding question paper — it contains the source material you need to answer the questions. In the real exam, this booklet is provided as a separate document. Practise extracting relevant information from the insert under timed conditions, just as you would in the exam hall.

When practising with Design and Technology past papers that include insert material, always print or display this document alongside the question paper — just as you would in the real exam. Practise extracting relevant data, quotes, or evidence from the insert under timed conditions. Many students lose marks not because they lack knowledge, but because they fail to reference the source material effectively.
