    Common Exam Mistakes

    Pitfalls to avoid in your exams

    • •Overheating metal during soldering, leading to excessive oxidation, firestain on silver, or melting of delicate components.
    • •Incorrect flux selection or insufficient flux coverage causing solder to ball up rather than flow into the joint.
    • •Poor fitting of components prior to soldering, resulting in gaps that weaken the joint or require excessive solder to fill.
    • •Neglecting to anneal metal after work-hardening, which leads to cracking during forming or bending processes.
    • •Inadequate preparation of surfaces before polishing, leaving deep scratches that become more visible after final finishing.

    Top Examiner Tips

    Expert advice for exam success

    • •Compile a comprehensive portfolio of evidence, including witness testimonies, photographic records of key stages, and reflective accounts that map directly to assessment criteria.
    • •During practical assessments, verbalise your decision-making process to demonstrate underpinning knowledge, especially when justifying deviations from a design brief.
    • •Ensure all work is presented clean, well-finished, and free from handling marks; first impressions influence assessors’ overall perception of competence.
    • •Practise time management for practical tasks by producing a run sheet that allocates realistic durations for each stage, including quality checks and clean-up.
