    so what are we thinking for gradeboundaries ?
    and i agree with majority for the application question, i also put medical diagnosis,techical help and car aswell not sure how well i explained it though.
    Compared to past papers i found it alright but its really hard to tell how well i have done :/

    I did this exam at 9am, I had the time to go on TSR to tell everyone the questions, but unfortunately, no internet connection. Knowing I could have changed someone's life...is heartbreaking.
    Glad you didn't, they'd probably track you using 'GPS' haha!

    It was a very good paper in my opinion compared to other past papers, the only question to throw me off was the vertical portioning affecting consistency and integrity, and the health problem for the median nerve causing numbness ( which I found out was carpel tunnel syndrome) everything else was easy as long as you have done all the other past papers.

    That essay question was horrible, external changes?, not enough to make an essay out of it , i just spoke rubbish.
    Hardware and software developments was a nice one, lots to talk about.

    Apart from that the shorter questions were all good and not to diffcult, they were not as vauge as the ones ive seen on past papers .

    but then the anything is easy compared to that dreaded coursework!
    External changes are quite easy, just government changes ( subsidies) affecting level of customers.

    Recession reducing patients due to recession, In long term affecting profits.

    Found the exam OK but the question about how vertical partitioning databases have integrity and consistency completely stumped me so i left it blank!!! What did people put for that? The expert systems question - at first i thought that it was knowledge base etc. but then i put health and weather and skincare LOL! And why the hell did health question come up that's AS! But the 3 conditions i put were back pain, dvd and carpal tunnel syndrome. How did everyone find it?

    For vertical partitioning I just put that changes on one part doesn't affect the other as both have their own respective fields, but i am most probably wrong, probs better to just wrote something than nothing.

    Just as a general rule, They're always lower then Jan and this sounds harder as well

    well in Jan i believe the mark scheme was pretty high for g063, 78 for an A if i recall?
    its usually around the 60 mark, lowest 55.

    Yeah I sat that exam and it thoroughly ****ed me over, that's why I'm pretty sure the grade boundaries won't be higher than that

    My expert system question was knowledge and solution or something :/

    The question I hated the most was the external changes I mentioned people and social factors and economic factors, had nothing to do with ICT that question lol.

    My best question was bandwidth I revised that too much :P
