NSW Textiles and Design Stage 6 structure, expressed in Dux teaching language.
Dux tracks each dot point separately, so “I did Textiles and Design” becomes a list of specific things you can already do and specific things you have never been asked. Open a module for all of its dot points, written out.
The design process as it applies to textiles, from research to realisation and evaluation.
Fibres, yarns, fabrics and the construction techniques that determine performance.
Australian designers, historical and cultural traditions, and ethical production in a global industry.
A Textiles and Design paper is not one question type repeated. Each command word asks for a different shape of answer, and each is worth a different number of marks.

| analyse | Short answer | 3–5 |
| assess | Short answer | 2–4 |
| compare | Short answer | 3–5 |
| develop | Short answer | 3–6 |
| evaluate | Short answer | 3–6 |
| evaluate | Extended response | 8–10 |
| explain | Short answer | 3–5 |
| identify | Multiple choice | 1 |
| justify | Short answer | 2–4 |
HSC Textiles and Design - Written Paper Shape — 40 marks, 90 minutes. Practice papers in Dux are assembled to this shape rather than invented, so the timing is training too.
Diagnostic first, then questions written in the shape this course uses. Written answers come back marked against the bands, not just scored.
