Well my teacher is one of the chief examiners for WJEC ICT, so from experience i kind of know how things work, just to clarify, if you got the full 80 marks in the coursework then you need 55 marks in the exam for an A, that was the case in the january exam. With regards to revising/tips i wouldnt waste your time doing anything about health since its come up the last two times. Also the book im reading called "Essential ICT for WJEC" is pretty good :smile:

hey i got 69/80 raw marks for my coursework..and my teacher says that may convert to 63/80 UMS marks.
so how much would i need in the exam to get A?

hello, if i worked it out right you would need 65/80 marks to hit the A grade boundry. We were told that coursework marks are worth 1 mark and exam marks are worth 1.333 marks. :/ i think thats due to the 40/60% weighting overall. Im just praying for my 80% overall coz i want my A* next year :woo:

haha.

Well about what may come up, you know what WJEC are like! :confused:

they could put anything random on the paper, my teacher kept banging on about e-commerce and online banking. So that may be on it.

if i told you that in the last few years these have been the big questions at the end of the paper, it may help you:
2005 - Banking and E-commerce
2006 - Education and E-commerce
2007 - Education and Health
2008 - E-commerce and E-Commerce (Horrible Paper :frown:

)
2009 - Health and Banking
2010 - Health
hope that helps :smile:

i wouldn't reckoning you doing that, because if you get stuck or cant find any more ideas then it can de-motivate you for the rest of the paper ( 2hours)....start with the easiest, or section B because we are prepared for it better then section A.
because its 2 hours and 15 mins.....leave about 45 minutes on the 18 marker....because communication marks will be awarded so take your time in answering those questions.
