Um yea not too bad. Some of the questions were a bit iffy about what they wanted us to answer with, but I sort of put in a bit and hoped it was what they were looking for. Diagrams etc was good. Definitions were good. Maybe 1-2 marks off the larger questions but the smaller ones ok.
85+ hopefully.
Yourself?

same...i was a bit sick during the test..tbh, i rkn it was easy..if i wasn't sick and examiners used better english to write the questions, i would've got 95+..
but hoping for 85+ .....:\
it's over now....

Yeah the wording was complete bs. not specific enough in the question.

Have you guys considered whether Q12 is C?

because technically Kb is kilobits, not kilobytes...
My friend pointed this out to my after the test and i was like: "are you joking?" T.T

And to think this was me just over a year ago.

Isn't it still B though? Cause it's 60 bits for one record, 600,000 bits for 10,000 records. Divide it by 1000 to get kilobits, so it's 600kb.

Haha I just wanted to say thank you so much for sharing your IPT notes! They were really helpful

Umm actually each record is 60bytes, each character is one byte

not it has to be B. there are a total of '60' in the size. 10 000 records means 60 per record so 60 *10 000 = 600 000 'units'
now if we assume these units are in bits, then to get to Kb like in the question we just divide by 1000, therefore 600 000/1000 = 600Kb = B
If you assume the 'units' are in bytes, we have to divide by 1000 to get to KB, so 600KB and then multiply by 8 to get to bits.
600*8 = 4800 which isn't any of the options.
Therefore it has to be B.

lol i can't wait for a year from now.

yep the answer is B. I rushed through the MC and didn't read the question properly until after i left the exam. i put C
