Common Exam Mistakes

Pitfalls to avoid in your exams

•Ignoring safety signs or legislation.
•Using incorrect or damaged PPE.
•Failing to follow emergency procedures correctly.
•Failing to fully deconstruct the client brief, leading to a solution that misses implicit user needs.
•Skipping the research phase and relying on personal preference rather than evidence-based design choices.
•Confusing a prototype with a finished product; neglecting to document failures and iteration cycles.
•Overlooking statutory regulations (e.g., Building Regulations, COSHH) that apply to the final installation or construction.
•Providing a superficial evaluation that only comments on aesthetics and ignores functional performance metrics.
