Aqa info 3 - 12/06/2012

Hey, I was really nervous for this exam but my revision really paid off in the end.

I read the entire booklet of questions and then did the pre released material first.

Once that was out the way I got the 20 marker out of the way then worked my way backwards and ended up with 10 minutes to spare and check through the paper.

Looking back though I think I will have missed marks in the 20 marker because do you know how it said we had to mention the effect on organisations? Well I did but I think I mentioned the wrong things. I think the other points I put down were suitable though (Luckily topic one was the last topic I had revised)

I’m hoping I did well in this as I need to get a B in it to get into uni.

How did everyone else’s course work go anyway? Mine was terrible :P

How did everyone's coursework go and when did you guys complete it?

How did everyone's coursework go and when did you guys complete it?

It really confused me and threw me off the first question, I wrote about due to the outsourcing it could have contradicted the data protection act due to having to share customer information which could be problematic (probably not correct but I was struggling to even think of anything so that's what I went with). Luckily I strode proudly through the rest!

Ah, does anyone know if I could get an A this year? Last year I got a C and a D, with an overall C, this year I got an A for the coursework, could I still an an A overall? Or is it going to be just a B (providing I get an A).

We were really messed about this year, we haven't had a proper ICT teacher for about 2/ 3 months!

And yea, never again! I think the spec is pretty much IT management rather that ICT! + I thought the marking criteria was pretty easy this year? Did everyone do databases?

I got an A and a D last year making me a B overall. That was completely unexpected.

But like you we were also completely messed about with our projects. We had hardly any supports from either of our ict teachers and was just expected to get on with it. One of our teachers usually went off about economics rather than ict which was a bit annoying.

I ended up with a C over all for my project and did a booking website. Just really hoping the moderator doesn't change my marks or my B for A2 is out the window.

Another joke was over a two week period we had 10 ict lesson only which 5 of we had teachers for. The other 5 wa "independent study" and we had to teach or selves. Half te topics in the book wasn't even covered in class.

All in all it was an extremely poorly ran course and if it wasn't for my self ten I don't think I would have passed based on the teachers input.

Rant over... Never have to do ict again!!!

How strange, our teacher also taught us Economics (until she left), I've noticed a lot of ICT teachers tend to teach Economics. It's really frustrating to be messed about in a crucial year! I assume you're trying to get a B?

how did people get on with this?
