    Can you do 4 retakes!

    I swear you got a C and an E and now a D!!!!

    And I swear only your best grade counts if you do two sittings. After that it is the highest mark from the latest two sittings; so your latest two are D and E, and you're highest a D.

    Maybe you were better with the C after all. Unlucky mate!!! From your results it seems you simply just aren't that good at ICT.

    No, originally I got a C, and this was my second resit and I got D's from both of them and I didn't know its been like that lol, never heard of that one and once again its not that, because I got a B in info 2, I don't know what it is, because in all the practice ones I done with me teacher, I get A's.

    I've been doing revision for this exam and itsa my third re-sit. I got a C the first time and a D the socond (which I thought I got an A) But one word that keeps cropping up in the past papers is 'Robust data entry' I know robust means to be structured strongly, so a USB wouldnt be robust. with other words. I have been looking every where on the net and can't find nothing. What is it?
    This. Don't lie to me hehe. Don't worry it is not that embarassing!!!

    Soz I misread your comment! But that means as it is the highest from the latest two exams, it will be your highest D that counts, rather than your original C!

    You seem knowledgeable but I do think you're overestimating how harsh the marking is. I don't think I will get no marks at all for the questions I didn't put on my sample work. Look what they wrote for Q5a in January 'Some candidates did not gain high marks for this part because they either did not annotate
    the page number in the answer booklet, or they failed to annotate their Sample Work with the
    question number. Most candidates were able to identify one user of their solution and
    describe how that user would use the system.'

    and thats specific just to 5a so even in the worst case scenario I should obtain some marks.
    I've done a lot of thinking about this so although I'm almost sure I won't get all the marks I'd deserve I'm pretty sure I'll get some marks as long as I answer the question right! That goes for anyone else who may have a similar problem to me
    If you don't mind me asking, what mark and grade did you get in the end? Do you think the problem in your sample work caused a problem in your mark?
