ICT OCR G061 2015 June 1st

so i got 73/80 for the coursework, and had enough time left in the exam to predict i got a minimum of 93/120 (counting the last Q as 9 marks, but it could be incorrect) so that would come out as an A right? its tighter than i'd have hoped

What did you guys write for the 6 mark Database question?

Not sure if what i wrote was correct, i listed loads of features of the software such as forms, and reports etc...also meantioned lots of terms like primary key, fields, records etc

i sincerely hope you are right! if it is considered right I could almost guarantee 11 marks there because i'm normally so strong at them but i'm kicking myself that i didn't read it properly

Its so easy to drop marks, I counted 90 last year and got a U lol. Im hoping for a C getting an A is hard

It depends on three things:

1) The person who marks your paper
2) The Grade boundaries
3) How lenient the mark scheme (Not usually that lenient bar the last question)

Exam was good! But I'm thinking the grade boundries are going to be high!
Last question I wrote about barcode scanners on devices, virtual models and virtual walkthroughs with holographic images and smellovision. Hopefully we all did well!

I know for sure that I got the invoicing question wrong! What did people write for it? I think the question was describe three characteristics of invoicing systems!

The only bad question on the paper...in my opinion!

Wasn't the last question the impact on ICT and buying plants online. Not FUTURE impact, therefore Smellovision and Holographic Images is completely off topic? The question hinted at things already available I'm sure.

Its a very ambigious question tbh , I would think so you would get marks as The last question is usually about future developments. I did 3d printing because it can be classed as both a current and future development as I wasn't sure

What did everyone do for input-processing-output diagram I did


Input- The customer Details - Process (Cant remember what I put)- Process (System makes decision)-
Output (If correct invoice is created) and another output is (If declined sent an email) and than underneath the output where it is accepted I put the storage (It is written into the diary)

Not sure that's spot on..

input - customer enters details, yes

Process (storage below) - appointment ok? send email / store appointment Appointment bad? send email / do not store appointment

output - send emails, if okay or not.

feedback loop "to customer" all the way back to input is what I did... hmm

The feedback is only required if the system is designed to continue in a cycle where the output feeds back in as an input. This was not the case with what they gave us. The only output was the email, which cannot possibly be an input given it was a form.

My teacher said it goes:

Input - User enters data
Processing - Check in the diary if the booking is available.
If it is available:
Output - Send email confirming
Storage - Store in the diary
If it isn't available:
Output - Send email declining

Not sure that's spot on..

input - customer enters details, yes

Process (storage below) - appointment ok? send email / store appointment Appointment bad? send email / do not store appointment

output - send emails, if okay or not.

For the 11 marker I put:
E-commerce packages can be configured easily with wizards to allow the gardening company to setup an online shop-

Positive: Allows customers to easily compare and find the products they want online in their home with ease-

Negative: Organisation needs to increase security to ensure customer data isn't stolen or misused by cyber criminals.

Mobile apps allow people to shop from anyway-

Positive: People can shop from anywhere in the world and buy the plants from wherever quickly-

Negative: Businesses feel inclined to develop an app in the changing world and not all businesses feel comfortable adopting this technology

Price comparison websites-

Positive: Allows the customer to compare between plants by price, location, and seller and find the best price. Allows the organisation to compete.-

Negative: Companies may loose revenue if they do not appear on price comparison websites because it is becoming an ever more popular way to shop.Not sure about my negative points. I talked about businesses more than customers. What do you think?

Also for the question on hardware/software for the visually impaired, I put:
- Speaker - To work with text-to-speech software to convert the text on screen into spoken language so it's easier to interpret what is happening on screen
- Puff-suck switch - Makes it easy to control the computer if the visually impaired cannot use a mouse/keyboard.

Software:
- Text-to-speech software (Reasons cited above)
- Magnifier - Make the text bigger on screen and more easier to read for those with partial sight.
Will I get the marks here?
