In case you didn't know its a guarantee that one of the 11 markers is on current or future developments in technologies and their effects, so what developments are people thinking of using? I'm definitely considering biometrics with the increase in fingerprint scanners on phones, as well as the developments in drones which could be used for security. Thoughts?

Aren't those questions all within a specific topic that they give you? E.g. education, healthcare

Yes but they can be more broad, I think

They always stick an AS question in there. Normalisation last year, health problems in 2014, spreadsheet models in 2013. Anyone like to guess? :biggrin:

Requirment specification is designed by the system analyst and is a set of objectives that define what the system will do. Whereas system specification is the technical details that justifies the type of hardware and software to be used.

I reckon they will rewrite some old questions in a different way and tweak the question. So for the 'designer' they will ask, give examples of what the designer will do rather than 'describe' which is asking for more general answers e.g. 'takes the requirement spec....'

Chapter 3 will definitely take up most of the paper. But June 2014 didn't that much.

is chapter 3 networks and communications?

I chose CCTV as a hardware though it confused me! Also found a lot of 6 markers and justify and not really any plain fact recall
