Flashcards for WJEC GCSE Design and Technology (3481QS/3482QS/3483QS, teaching from 2026, for award from 2028), covering Unit 1's core content and then, in their own subdecks, the Engineering Design, Fashion and Textiles and Product Design pathways. Delete or suspend the pathway subdecks your course does not take. Unit 2 is entirely non-exam assessment, so it has no flashcards.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.
