AQA COMP2 7th June 2011 AM

Im really stressing for this exam. Theres so much to remember and i just dont think ill be able to remember it all. When i finish a topic and do the next one i feel theres so much information that it makes me forget the things i learnt before xD

Anyone got any good tips?

think positive and if you think your gonna fail then just do past papers
id say just by doin past papers ul pass atleast

Hope I do well in this one. Got 61/80 last year which isn't too bad but wanna nail it for an A overall.

im guessing its going to ask you to compare a scanner or something. the types of scanners?

or dot matrix printer or cd. if not theyll prob ask you a 6 marker on the layers i guess.

How come you didnt take it in january?

Teacher said I couldn't do it in Jan and that they can only be done in summer (which is only true for COMP1).

Damn your teacher lied xD if i resit next yeAr im definitely doing it in january. Especially coz im definitely resitting comp1 in summer next year

Would've been so much better to resit COMP2 in Jan because I only had 4 exams then. Now I am lumbered with 9.

Unlucky! Must be a nightmare revising for comp2 with all those other exams. But to be fair i didnt listen in class all year so im basically teaching myself everything a few days beforehand xD so might be easier for you lol

I'm kind of having to do that for COMP3, although it's not too bad. Having revision sessions at school too so hopefully that will help. Only other exams I need a lot of practice for are Economics where I need essay practice and rejog memory for all the theories. Maths is a doddle and just involves past papers and I know the stuff. Shouldn't be too bad to be honest.

You seem organised! Lol. Maths is so much easier to revise for than computing isnt it! I just regret not doing enough past papers. I focused more on biology and chemistry because i had maths and bio on one day and chem and comp1 the day after; was a nightmare. And so in maths a question came up which everyone else had seen in a past paper and i hadnt so i missed out those 8 marks :O bad times

Not that organised lol. My work is a mess, although for computing my notes are organised on Microsoft OneNote (a piece of software I introduced to the school) but I have really just been revising from the text book. For maths it'll maybe be some of the harder questions in review exercises and Economics I have a little revision guide which is really good.

All my folders and books are scattered around the place. Desk is a mess covered in past papers that I've not looked back at after doing them. Lever arch file broke so I dump piles of paper here and there... Good to know that hopefully next year, I can bin most of it. Bought too many text books / revision guides too that I haven't used. eBay or Amazon me thinks.

I want to do really well in COMP2 because I mightve messed up COMP1 retake (although I didnt do too badly initially) and COMP4 has gone quite well. Really want an A but it depends on COMP3 which is kind of hardish.

I hate the way AQA word the questions sometimes too, where you don't know what it actually want you to write about... e.g. state the principles arghhhh.....

Hey, does anyone know if the hardware question will be on one device for 4/6 marks or two devices (comparison I guess) for 6/8 marks? Last year they did the latter, right?

Thanks Good luck, everyone ^.^
