    OCR GCSE Computing - 17th May
    Hi all, just wondering if anyone else is sitting this exam tomorrow afternoon?
    I know it's a relatively knew course, however I'm curious as to whether I'm the only person on the forum actually taking it?

    I think if there's a topology question it will be a ring one, as the others came up in past/specimen papers.

    Am I the only person who is scared out of their mind? My teacher only taught us DBMS two weeks ago, after I showed him a past paper with a question on it.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

    It should be ok, apparently the A* boundary is 86% overall.
