Common Study Questions
Use these topic questions to decide what to revise next before starting the diagnostic set.
DSE Tech & Living: How to quickly decode food nutrition labels?
To read nutrition labels, check serving size first, then energy, total fat (saturated and trans), cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, sugars, dietary fibre, protein, and vitamins, comparing values against daily reference intakes.
DSE Family Living: How to apply consumer rights and resource management?
Consumer rights include safety, information, choice, and voice; resource management means using money, time, and energy wisely by comparing products, calculating lifecycle costs, and considering sustainable consumption.
DSE Fashion & Textiles: How to memorise common fabric properties and care labels?
Fabric properties: cotton absorbent but wrinkles, wool warm, polyester quick-dry and wrinkle-resistant. Care symbols for washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, and dry-cleaning should be interpreted in order.
DSE Design Management: How to delineate and apply the stages of the design cycle?
The design cycle typically includes identifying needs and opportunities, research, writing a design brief, generating ideas, developing prototypes, testing and evaluating, and refining, all in an iterative process.
DSE Tech & Living: How to evaluate the impact of new technology on society and the environment?
Evaluate from positive (efficiency, convenience) and negative (pollution, resource depletion, social inequality) angles, referencing the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic.
DSE Practical Evaluation: How to test and improve a product based on criteria?
Based on design criteria (e.g., function, aesthetics, durability, cost), collect data through observation, measurement, and questionnaires; analyse deviations; propose specific improvements; and retest.
