Ways Data is input : Multiple choice q's = OMR

you just had to make a report with all the information of smith & co on the report.

I.e purchases, date, total balance, amount of item address, account number etc.

ohhh and why would you verify the surname field?
i wrote that if the data clerk accidently entered the surname wrong, the system would think they r two different people and would send mail orders to were as fact its onli one person........lol hope i make sense.

Yep no transcryption errors with the example you've given would be fine aswell as Less chance of duplicated records if verified by keying in data twice to see if the two entrants match.

Be warned AQA ICT seems like the exams go so easy but most of the time they dont. The thing is you needa wrtie shed loads to get the marks. Because in the 2/3 marks questions there are normally looking for exact words of phrases. Fair enought the 1marks questions you either no or you don't but when you need to expand, expand as much as possible else you just won't get the mark.

Isn't expanding always the key at AS though? I found myself writing about 6 pages for both exams because I went off into too much detail, especially on things like the "Internet Shopping" question, and "GUI's".

But anyway, I did think these exams this year were particularly easy. I finished and checked them in about 55 minutes and then just sat there waiting for the exam to end...*sigh*
