    I did the exam today.

    I found the theory remarkably easy compared to other year. On the practical however i messed up the percentage formulae and the mail merge (nothing too big though). I couldn't fit the report on one page either which was a pain.

    Overall i think since i made they mistakes I have achieved an overall 'B'. If i am lucky i may achieve an A.

    How did you find it and did you struggle with any questions??

    I did it yesterday.
    Practical was fine (except for printing of the database, it took me ages to get it on one page) however i think i screwed up a few of the theory questions.

    to get the database on one page took some figuring out. i had to shrink it. I missed out the last two fields on the report due to only printing it on one page do you think ill lose much marks for that??

    Yes I'd agree that that the theory was much easier than the last few years! However I'm not too good with the theory part and think I did much better with practical.
    The database was indeed a bit of a pain but I eventually managed to get it onto a page! I think you should only lose maybe 1 or 2 marks for it nothing major! I should either get an A or a B also, hopefully an A though!

    No I don't think I could cope with another year of it! Yourself?
