Hi just wondering how people are going to organise their time during the examination. this is what I'm gonna do

5 min reading:
3 min reading the last section and make a choice on which 2 to do
2 min reading the second section

Examination STARTS!!:
5 min on multiple choice
40 min on short answers
37.5 min on extended response 1
37.5 min on extended response 2

PENS DOWN
still writing....

I think the hardest will be canning the extended reponses it is quite a difficult task, if only they made it count less and put more computers in it

 

[MrMiK]

they are SHOKN
like the exam writers all sitn around.
"ok lads,... lets see how ambiguous we can make em this year"
question ends up
"computer broke? how you fix?"

Out of curiosity Andrew, have you ever written any previous years IT papers, which will be 2001 or 2002, or any Trials, or involved in any of marking.

another question. how many pages should you usually write per section in the extended response? because I can BS and babble on for ages

 

[Winston]

It depends, i mean i remember someone saying they got marked down on a extensive memo but the fact is a memo really is breath, it shouldnt really extend over 3 pages, it should be brief concise, simultaneously answering the question. Not quantity it's quality like many subjects. Try to understand the way they mark

e.g. Describe two input devices

worth 4 marks

you list 2

describe them

there four marks

an example would be a mark each
