WJEC Computing CG3 June 23

Hi guys. I was wondering, if anyone is sitting this re-sit exam (and even if you're not resitting), what resources did you use for your revision? And how do you prepare for such an exam. I find it hard as there isn't really a revision guide i can use to revise for this thoroughly (or maybe i haven't found one yet).

Any help would be much appreciated =)

The zig-zag guides are okay, but there are quite a few mistakes. This website is especially good and has everything, but not all the sections are available if your college doesn't have it on their system.

I'm pretty lucky with resources, and we have loads of worksheets and powerpoints available at my college, so if anyone has a specific topic they want extra resources message me and I will have a look on my college site and try and upload stuff here for you

EDIT: Here is an example, this is a pretty good powerpoint on data representation (Hex, Binary, 2s complement...), I'm sure I've seen people upload files straight on to a post, but as I can't see the link I stuck with a file upload: http://www.filefactory.com/file/cb7a7c3/n/datarepresentation2011.pptx. Feel free to comment on the irony of me giving computing advice while not knowing how to upload a file to TSR, and then preferably tell me if you can

Can you find anything on *AQA Resistant Materials: Product Design* for A2.

Cheers

Can you upload all the Computing Powerpoints. There are links to some at the end of the one you put the link up for.

That took alot less time that I expected. The attachment thing has an upload limit so I'll have to stick to good old free hosting.

Here's a .ZIP with all the computing PPTs and a word document version of the full zig zag book:

Everyone:
Please share this with anyone/any other threads that might benefit from it. Good luck with revision. Drop me a message if you have any problems with the files or have a CG3 query and I'll try and reply asap (bear in mind I have inhuman amounts of revision to do too).

Thanks.

Smashed it man. Nice one.

No worries. By the way there is a mistake in the ZigZag guide. In the section about logical and arithmetic shifts, the part which explains the arithmetic shifts is wrong. It reads:

• Arithmetic Shift Right (ASL): All digits are moved to the left. The right-most digit becomes a zero...

• Arithmetic Shift Left (ASR): All digits are moved to the right except for the left-most bit. The right-most bit is discarded...

I think they have mixed up their words, and it's meant to say:

• Arithmetic Shift LEFT (ASL): All digits are moved to the left. The right-most digit becomes a zero...

• Arithmetic Shift RIGHT (ASR): All digits are moved to the right except for the left-most bit. The right-most bit is discarded...

What does everyone think (if you've seen it yet) of the new layout for CG3? I think the June 10 paper is available in that format for anyone that wants to take a look

Cheers for that.

85 raw for the A* doesn't sound too bad, I'm looking at needing ~96% UMS because my coursework's only just an A. Any ideas on how many raw marks that'd be? I probably won't even get anywhere near it, mind.

I will get back to you on that later...i got 100 ums for coursework.

In January 84 raw was A*.

Doesn't matter, I've just checked it meself now, cheers anyway.

Based on last summer's boundaries and assuming my classes' coursework isn't moderated, I need 92 raw for an A*. (of course, getting an A* isn't necessary for my offers, but it'd just be a nice thing to have.)
