because the training of staff can happen at the same time as software installation and system testing. So I had 9 weeks Huy.

My gantt chart was in 9 weeks.

Task 5 had "This can occur at the same time as software installation and system testing", so I think the last two overlap, making it 9 weeks.

Damn. you guys are right.

I skimmed it and thought it said the same as the above few.

"This can only start AFTER...."

Now I'm not so confident, thanks guys

...kidding!!

 

[Jeo]

9 is right.

 

[pocydto]

Hehe, reading started at like 2 pm for us because my stupid class was arguing with the supervisors that they can use calculators and flowchart templates "because it's allowed in the SDD exam"

Huy, you've always been a truckload of information when it comes to definitions and such, you'll most definitely kick granny butt in the written section. (Not literally of course)

But they're not allowed for SDD either... (calculators).

I don't know about flow chart templates, they should be "OK" - but we didn't have to do any Context diagrams, DFD's or SFC's

hahaha!

 

[jpk]

SHYT!!!~!~~
%#^%ing!~
u cant use pen to draw diagrams!!!!!

 

[FadeToBlack]

Yep, gantt was 9 weeks, as the final 1 week could be done simultaneously with the 2nd last stretch of time, whatever that was

I havn't read the 2nd page so i hope no one else has said this

EDIT: why did i type 10?
DOUBLE EDIT: Yep, about 10 other people answered ... good old slow me

 

[Zara]

Hehehe... I don't think it's that big a deal, pen or pencil.

Pencil if the front page said so, and it did Draw diagrams in pencil

But pen for everything else (written part).

Yep, it was mentioned before. Thanks anyway for letting us know it was 9 (except me... who did 10 )

Oh well, mistakes are bound to happen if you're in a rush/speeding through it.

Hey Huy, what's with all the times like "3:16 pm" on the top of the MM section of your paper? just wondering

Any way gotta love the blank pages

You're right.

This can occur at the same time as software installation and system testing (the task above, reference number 4).

You can have 10 weeks, thank you for that gmraso!

SQL was,

SELECT Last_name, First_name, Home_phone, State
FROM FRIENDS
WHERE State="NSW"
ORDER BY Last_name DESC

...that's what I put anyway :whistles:
I explained why I wrote, what I had written, to try and scab the last 1 mark if they gave me 2/3 for it

It was a 3 marker.

Hahaha!

Well, that's my time management :rofl:

I did:

Section I
Section III
Section II

And at the top of each, before I began ANYTHING, I wrote down how much time I would spend, project those times ('future times') and then cross them out if I'm falling behind, or increase the duration of others if I had time left over.

It was basically me keeping track of how many Q's to go, how fast I'm going, and when I'm expected to finish.

As you can see, 4:40pm was my latest finishing time (at the very latest, I should have completed everything by 4:40pm, but I ended up using 4:23 instead - crossed out)



As for the blank pages... I thought it was funny, so I took pictures of it, LOL! all 3 of them, heeheh.

You dont need state in the SELECT.... because you aren't displaying it dude..

 

[pocydto]

Hmm... not sure if they wanted state to be shown...

ARRRGHH I wrote SHOW instead of SELECT

 

[TheKey]

i was so close there i wrote my SQL

SELECT Last_name, First_name, Home_phone, (without state)
FROM FRIENDS
WHERE State="NSW"
ORDER BY Last_name DESC

any chance of 2.5/3 ? its only 1 less word

If you don't select any fields... how are you going to write out your search criteria, your displaying method (ORDER BY)?

You need State, because it asks you to "display a list in alphabetical order by last name of all the friends living in NSW"

Therefore, you would need to select the "State" Field name at some stage.

No half marks in the HSC, for any subject.

2/3

You dont need to display it to search it.

Define displaying?

You want to create a LIST of all the names, alphabetically by last name, right?

Displaying = can be soft copy (monitor screen) or hard copy (printing on paper)

That's what I think...

To "ORDER BY" is to display your results, as a direct result of the search criteria and SQL.

 

[Jeo]

SELECT means you want to display it. SELECT state is useless, and its not right actually.

You can do WHERE state = nsw without SELECT state

When I said display, I meant SELECT, sorry.

 

[morrisoner]

god damn it i didnt see the nsw bit.
argh im heaps cut
