Me too. I wanted a question like that, or specifically about legislation.
What did you put for the System stages/output question and the Health and Safety question. Those are the only ones I don't think I got full marks on.

Im annoyed though, I need a B in ICT and I know I got an A in ICT1, a B in ICT2. A's in both courseworks and probably a good B (at least) in ICT 4, but I still need a high B in ICT5 to scrape a B overall. Does that seem right!?

Thats how I revised it as well.
Only thing is, I know a lot less about ICT5 and I have two Computing exams that I NEED to pass on the same day. AND law on the days around them.

What did you put for the Health and Safety question?

I found it quite easy too, and loved the Essay (20 mark) question :biggrin:

I just hope the marks say the same to how i felt it went :smile:

I'm not too sure..

Wrote loads of stuff for every question, and did the 20 mark question 1st..

Didn't know what 'audit' meant so i've lost about 4 marks at least on that one... :frown:

I put: Checking workstations, meetings to go over legislation, making sure that employers give employees regular breaks, putting up posters to remind people of issues and of new legislation and something about checking software is up to the right standards as well (for eye straign etc).

that exam was good, actually came out with a smile! A lot of the questions were just repeated from past years. Main question I was a bit stumped on was the outputs one, other than that, pretty ok.

Hope this doesn't mean that unit 5 is gonna be hard....
