I think I am pretty ok on the common topics but i am feeling very underprepared for the longer questions and the spreadsheet stuff.

Yeah same, I'm hoping planetconwy's guesses are right :P but I'm gonna cover all bases regardless, whether I understand them is a different matter.

But I really need to nail this exam, I did really poor in my coursework due to a crap work ethic but also really lousy teaching from one of my three teachers. His marking was crap as well.

Same boat, putting all the effort in two days before the exam!

I'm making good headway with the common topics (verification/validation, data/info/knowledge, quality of info and capablities/limitations of ICT over manual tasks) and I'm now started to revise hard for the longer questions (ICT in the home/education, online banking, etc.). The mark schemes are really helpful, more condensed info compared to my 64-page revision booklet. :P

Got a whole day to do it tomorrow, and I might pop into school to get more advice from my teachers.

verifcation/validation I already knew ages ago and the same goes with data, info, knowledge. Quality of info and capabilties/limitations of ICT I am bad at. I have barely revised ICT in home and ICT in education and ICT in business however I think I am just naturally good at that (I revised it once and somehow it just has not left my brain).

Yeah I have used the mark schemes a bit but not a lot recently because my computer is slow and when I download stuff it just makes my computer basically freeze!

EDIT: I am going to do loads of work tommorow as well. My college has a little revision session for an hour and a half which I will go in for. Then I aim to do about 4 hours of good revision by myself. Then just chill from about 7'ish till about 10'ish.

Here you go, I have thrown in the answers to the essay question too.

Make sure you write down the spreadsheet rules at the end of the PDF when you get into the exam and then you wont forget :smile:

If you want to know anything else just ask :smile:

Thanks so much. By the way if you want (or anyone else wants), I have a bulleted revision guide that my teacher gave me. It just has the key points for each topic (e.g definitions, advantages/disadvantages, an example) in short bullet points. So just ask if you want it :smile:

Got most of my bases covered, so it's going good! Hoping ICT in Health doesn't come up, I suck at that topic, or education...

Im quite hoping for health that and Home Entertainment. But yeah Education is a horrible one. I also hope the essay question is not on CAM and CAD, because Im not prepared for that.

That's something else I need to look over as well but I'm pretty confident with Home Entertainment as it seems to be mostly common sense

Thanks, and you! I'm getting a little worred about Networks and Social Issues, is there a big chance of them coming up?

EDIT: Or HCI for that matter?

Very Easy and Home Entertainment was Common Sense

Very straightforward, although I sort of wished that verification/validation came up. Froze for some reason for the capabilities of ICT question, but go through it in the end. Confident of a C+ tbh :smile:
