Re: 2012 higher computingIt was count occurrences in my exam last year. Wouldn't surprise me if it was find maximum/minimum....(Original post by IAmCookie)
We're doing Artificial Intelligence
I love it! What about yourself?
My teacher has a feeling that it'll be count occurences, but I'm memorising all 4 incase! -

Re: 2012 higher computingMe hopefully xD(Original post by IAmCookie)
I love traces! I really hope we get a 9 marker in the final
I got 58/60 for my coursework, including full marks for programming
Anyone crazy enough to do Advanced Higher like me?

Re: 2012 higher computingLet's hope so!(Original post by MattZING)
We done multimedia, it was pretty good. Only lasted two weeks though. Can anyone help me with the calculations in the two standard topics as that is my weak point.

In an ideal world I would like to, however my school doesn't offer this, so instead I'm crashing Higher Physics(good luck to me on that one!)(Original post by IAmCookie)

Re: 2012 higher computingWon't they send you to another school for it? :') I'm going to a different school for Advanced Higher French lessons(Original post by JonathanHan01)

Oh lord, good luck with that! I'm not a sciencey person at all (apart from computing if that counts
)

Re: 2012 higher computingI suppose they could, it would be interesting to study I suppose, I like science's they are interesting, but I've been told that Physics is hell to crash, especially as I've only ever done Biology, so the jump from bio to physics would be massive, as it's almost like learning all the equations and what they mean, the symbols. I've also been notified of graphs(Original post by IAmCookie)

Re: 2012 higher computingAh good luck with it! I wish I were a science person but I'm more of an English/languages person, I actually don't understand why I enjoy a technical subject like computing :P(Original post by JonathanHan01)

What's your predicted grade for computing?

Re: 2012 higher computingSo far my teacher has predicated me for a B from our prelim and my coursework, which if all go's well I could pull it off in the exam, or even better achieve an A, would really like to achieve an A, but believe my ability may just cut below that.(Original post by IAmCookie)

Re: 2012 higher computingIf it's a good paper I think you could achieve an A(Original post by JonathanHan01)

How about you're self? if it's a bad paper I'll actually cry :L
Well, my teacher told my Mum that I'm his best hope in the class for an A band 1.. Feeling the pressure :P -

Re: 2012 higher computingI was planning to crash physics this year but backed out after also being told how it's hell...(Original post by IAmCookie)

Re: 2012 higher computingPhysics isn't that bad! Its mostly calculations and if you know how to do them, its quite easy. Other than that, its just facts. I was thinking about doing it at advanced higher, but I'm thinking about AH French instead... I know. I'm crazy!(Original post by Imfeelingthis)
I was planning to crash physics this year but backed out after also being told how it's hell...
I got a decent grade in the coursework so I only need about 65% in the paper to achieve an A I think... I hope to get an A because I'm also doing AH next year! I'm also doing AI, but I'm fairly rubbish at it just now. I really struggle with trace questions

Re: 2012 higher computingYay, AH French and AH Computing! :'D(Original post by Liammm)

I don't find traces that bad but alot of people in my class do! I know that my friend is trying past papers then getting the teacher to write out the correct answer then she's working out where she went wrong if that's any help to you
I'm one of only 2 girls who've signed up for AH Computing and she's considering dropping it D: -

Re: 2012 higher computingWe did the AI unit, which is actually quite a decent unit - it's mostly common sense. Quite enjoyed it, anyway.(Original post by Imfeelingthis)
what optional unit did everyone do?!
and anyone know what type of standard algorithm may come up this year!?
As for the standard algorithim, I imagine it would be any other than 'Count Occurences', based on the fact that was in last year's paper. However, that's not to stop the SQA from sneakily putting it in two years in a row. -

Re: 2012 higher computing132/200 was for A. 160 for band 1 A.

These were the 2011 boundaries. -

Re: 2012 higher computingMore generally, grade boundaries and a great deal of other figures for the last few years are available from the SQA Statistics pages.
I love it! What about yourself?
