ICT OCR GO64 23RD June 2011

My teachers don't know how to teach the theory side of this course. I've been studying it all my self. Luckily I have a week to revise it all till the exam.

How are you finding the theory? I literally know nothing...

Yeah same, my teachers are absolutely pointless in teaching so I've learnt the whole of it myself. I'm doing the chapters slowly, got the last chapter to revise by next thursday and then do past papers and off to go! I really want an A/A* in this!

I've only got a week to learn it all myself lol.

I bought this book off of amazon to revise from, hopefully should learn most of it all.

The exam will be a real contrast to my previous ones. This one has loads of 4 marks and 5 marks, my last 3 exams had 15 markes, 45 marks and 60 marks lol.

Good luck with your exam, hope you do well. I'm hoping for a minimum of a C overall in the topic. I got a B in the coursework last year, D in theor, no idea for this year, just need 300 points for uni!

Good luck!

Lol I bought that book off amazon aswell! But I'm using both lol. And thankyou, good luck too Just get revising - do loads of allnighters everyday so that you wont need to be cramming on the day/day before lol thats what I'm doing. And oh cool, what you studying for uni? Please dont stay ICT ;p

My plan is this:
Saturday: System Life Cycle, Designing computer based info systems
Sunday: Network and communications, Applications of ICT.
Monday: Implementing Computer based info systems, implications of ICT.
Tuesday: Basic revision over all of it, past papers.
Wednesday: Cramming revision, more past papers, praying to every God and some made up ones.


And I'm doing ICT.



Joking lol. I'm hoping to do History and Politics at Winchester, grades pending of course lol.

What are you hoping to do?

Im worried about this exam haven't had much time for theory in the lesson and have an exam on tuesday so can't even spend from today revising

Eeeek, you got the accounting exam on tues? I've got chemistry on friday so I'll have to juggle with both aswell. Just do as much as you can

Souns like a good plan, hope you stick to it! ;D
And loool, oh wow you actually got me for a second! But cool, nice course I'm doing maths with accounting and finance hopefully at Queen Mary

I'm sticking to it lol. Nearly done the systems life cycle. Soo boring lol.

And good luck with that course at Queen Mary. Hope you get the grades you need to get in.

Lol I feel your pain man, ict is such a drag. Was gonna ask do you have the Jan 11 past paper? I cant find it anywhere :/ And thanks, good luck too, hopefully we all get the grades for uni
