One thing I wasn't too sure about was what they meant by "with reference to the information system diagram"... like, were we surposed to be all "as seen on the diagram..." ?? Or does it mean, we just take note of it, incase we weren't familiar with it. ??? This was like, the big one in all the option topics.

It just meant that when you talked about the components, you didn't just describe what they are.. you also answered in relation to the scenario.

This is starting to freak me out - all I did for that part was make lists - i.e lists of information technology the organisation in the scenario would use, lists of participants, lists of the ways the system is analysing etc
Have I just screwed this up?? :( :(

I don't think so, at least not much. Is anyone sure what they really wanted?

What on earth were you writing about?
Oh crap! I just had another look at the paper - damn those BOS verbs! I certainly didn't 'describe' properly

I don't know if I did it right, but I did things like - for the Multimedia Systems information technology - wrote things like "computer, scanner, digital image capturing software/hardware, etc."

Now that I reread the question.. I didn't describe the components, just how they related to the information system!

It means take note of it, look at it, read the scenario and answer in terms of the scenario itself :)

That is correct.

Me too!

For the 6 markers, I went on for pages (2-3), didn't leave much room for anything else *raises hand and asks for more booklets*

I reckon they should just give you 20 page "slabs" of paper for every exam, if you run out, you get another 20 page slab :p

AND (my rant for today), they should be lined at 7 or 8mm, on WHITE paper. hahaha! I can't stand BOS booklets, stuffs up my legibility/writing (and neatness ;))

6 marks is 6 marks.

They were the "hardest" and most important questions in the exam.

For 3 or 4 marks in my trial, I wrote at least 2-3 pages on each question, JUST to ensure that I would get all 3 marks. Stupid move in hindsight, but with the HSC (and it's ease), I would think 2 pages if not 3 (HSC booklets) would be more appropriate for a 6 marker.

You can take up 1 whole page just writing about "Displaying" for example.

Man I hope that didn't lose us the majority of the marks..
I know! Argh I feel bad now.
I blame that stupid Excel revise in a month book! I was doing practice questions from that all of last week and all they ever did was list the components, so when I saw the question I immeadiately went, "Oh wow, one of those listing questions!"
god I'm such a dumbarse.

in my school people were actually were drawing that diagram they had of the processes and were filling in the empty spots, eg for participants, they listed Anna...

i basically copied their list, collecting... 1 below another as they did and made points of each one, but not "descibe" just identify and related it to Annas presentation.

oh and i filled maybe 1pg for that so im dead.

they should really take notice of the size of writing, i made like 10 words a line.
