Hi, Unit 2 for this course is literally remembering the theory, doing past papers and being intelligent enough to know how to answer them properly. Unit 1 requires learning some theory, but requires massive exam technique learnt through doing past papers to.
The coursework element is pretty straight forward, you don't need to spend hours creating a great website or database etc. I can recommend some excellent books for the coursework which tells you what you need to do step by step. I also have my coursework which got me an A!

HI, thanks for the reply. Do AQA actually mark your coursework as i was told they only mark your answers in respect to coursework? Ive created a spreadsheet which calculated a shops income and projected profits etc. Does that sound okay?

And do you have any advise/tips for the INFO1 & INFO2 exams as they are coming up in a few weeks time. I really need a D at AS but obviously im going to try and get higher than that. Is it hard to get a D grade?

Thanks x
