    Stuff I will get absolutely no marks for:

    - The partitioned databases integrity or w/e. Pretending that didn't exist. :mad:
    - The essay on external changes. Messed up big time, probably because of my rubbish ideas at the start.

    The medical conditions wasn't too bad. But I think I swapped two around
    Deep Vein Thrombosis for the leg clot - sat down too long, poor blood circluation
    Carpal Tunnel for the nerve in wrist - repeated typing
    Repetitive Strain Injury for the chronic pain - more exercise? lol

    Everybody looking forward to the exam tomorrow?
    I'm feeling.... confident. Hopefully I'll get an A like AS..

    My ICT teacher emailed my class with bits he thinks will be on the exam as they haven't been covered as much in previous exams or always pop up.
    - The definitions and +/- points for LAN, WAN and Virtual networks
    - Wireless communication methods (Bluetooth, home wireless)
    - The documents in the system life cycle (requirements spec, design spec, system spec)
    - Diagrams (Entity relationship, Data Flow Diagram, State transition and flowcharts)
    - Batch, interactive and real time data processing systems
    - Model human processor definition
    - Distributed databases
    - Change management

    Hope this helps
    Woah these exact topics came up in the exam... scary!

    And the questions in the exam were absolutely awful... I'm seriously hoping for low grade boundaries - I need an A for university!

    I don't think Dolinski put it on his website, but he got one of Paul Long, which he showed to us in class.
    Im guessing you are on about dolinski.co.uk?

    Hi guys,

    I'm a newbie to TSR and have sat this exam also.

    Just a bit concered that people are mentioning the ER diagram question as I don't recall doing it, but I checked through the whole paper load of times too! It would be helpful if anyone can tell me what page the question was or how har into the paper approx it came up. Also how many marks were awarded for this question as I fear I have lost all of them for not seeing and answering the question!

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    The diagram was half way the exam paper, it was 4 marks. I can't remember the page though.
    Even I was about to skip it, thought it was an introductory paragraph for section B, then realised I had to draw an ERD diagram for it.

    Thanks, I must have missed it out by accident then, glad it's just 4 marks. Anybody have an idea of what the grade boundries gonna be? Our teacher showed us a past paper recently which had very low marks for an A, can't remember what year it was though. I really need a grade A in this to make uni!

    Thanks
