    A2 OCR ICT Coursework help!
    Hey Guys,

    I am doing ICT A2 and i need help to choose what project to do e.g car rental or room booking system. Any one who done this last year could you tell me what you did yours on or if you have any different ideas?

    Thank You.

    Both ideas sound good to me. They will both work and you can definitely make a project out of both scenarios. I would just go with whichever scenario out of those two appeals to you the most because you will be working on this coursework for a long time.

    I did a scenario that involved creating a new computer system for a client that currently runs a completely paper-based system. They were a self-employed carpet fitter that has various responsibilities such as ordering new stock, fitting carpets and generating invoices.

    Other scenarios I've seen people use are:

    • A gerbil emporium
    • A hairdressing salon
    • A garden centre
    • A paint shop

    I hope this helps, good luck with your coursework x

    Hi everyone

    I joined a new 6th form in september to complete the 2nd year (A2) with the hope of getting into university, but cause i can't do the AS coursework for ICT i had to do the exam: OCR G061 whilst keeping up with A2 Courework and exam theory for G062, i need a C overall in this subject to stand any chance of getting into Uni. But i got an E on results day yesterday, so that means i need to re-sit, i am fairly bright and in all the practice exams i was scoring B's

    Is it realistic that i can acheive a C overall, bearing in mind i have to revise hard for 2 big ICT exams come June

    i feel really low about it too, and would appreciate any advice about if this is realistic or not

    Also what grades would i need to score in the exams to secure the C provided my coursework is at A / B standard

    Thanks

    My current project is a Database, and website system to provide customers ordering a game, from my invented company, a quicker ordering system than the current paper-based system. In addition, the database will contain the order details, which can be amended when an order is sent/dispatched depending whether they order a physical disc of the game or a download of it.

    The standard platter for these projects seem to be stock control systems for a company that uses a paper-based system. That is what the rest of my class is doing, however I wanted to be different. I asked my teacher if I could program a simple game in Java but he told me to desist from that idea.

    I need an A in this, to get my overall mark up to a B... the ridiculously marked papers yielded only a B and a (C/D?) for me. I am resitting the (C/D - which I'm unsure about, because I have had conflicting marks on results day regarding this paper, the AS one), in the hope that I can pull it to a B... but that's almost wistful thinking as the marking schematic is ridiculous. I hope I can get an A in the coursework, as it's frankly my best bet... I need a relatively mid-high A, too.
