AQA A2 INFO3 June 2014 Exam Thread

Hi,
Does anyone have access to this resource? If so could you please share it!
Btw if you can please ask your teacher to order this, they will most likely have a budget which hasnt been exceeded. Our teacher blew his budget on loads of unnecessary INFO 4 stuff.
Thank you!

The pinsentry systems. Majority of UK banks offer them. Its basically for online banking, when one wants to log in, they put in their card and enter their pin, the device generates a code which is entered the online banking system. This verifies that the actual customer logs in. Although there are some flaws to the system

I have been asking my teacher for months for this case study and every time I have asked he has told me that it has not been released yet. Even today we spent time going through old case studies as I asked how we would identify topics we needed. I am very, very angry right now. Thank you for all the suggestions and notes. They will be very helpful in the limited time I have left!

Well that's really stupid!! Well tbh my teacher isn't very helpful either as he's only going through all the topics without relating them to the case study so it's quote pointless :frown:

Sometimes to gain one mark you have to do so much work. Like the testing took up so many pages of my document but you could only get 3 marks maximum from it haha?! Well done though! It makes life easier as its 40 percent so means you have some leeway on the exam

My teacher has refused to tell is what we have got because he thinks we will rely on that too much and not try as hard if we get full marks :smile:

Literally I had to redo something spending like 4 hours and got one mark at the end :frown:

YES!! I'm soo happy I got nearly full marks. Because of my INFO4 and AS grades (Both high As) I only need to get a D in info3 to get an A overall :biggrin:
