well there is one technique my teacher taught me on the 20 marker....he said to start of with an introduction first in which you would reprhase the extra info they provide you with....for example, if a 20 marker said "organisations need information like a human needs blood...discuss the following bla bla bla", then you should start of saying information is very important to an organisation as it helps carry out tasks and information is only of good use if its reliable, accurate, complete, then move on getting each bullet point and finding what chapters it would come in...e.g. if a bullet point said the organisational structure and style of an organisation then you could bring in aspects of hierarchical/flat structures, levels and layers, information flow...etc.

one more thing forgot to tell you make sure you have a conclusion, even if its like 3 and a half lines you must agree to the question or give a statement of what you think. for example, after analysing the above it can be said that information is very important to an organisation.

dont use the heathcote book mate...waste of time, look at the markscheme.

i used the heathcote book for Unit 1 and got a 'D'. Used the markscheme and got an 'A'. TBH - it was easier to revising from the MS than heathcote...

How can ICT be your favourite subject! It's absolutely woeful. I'm going to study compsci at uni and absolutely hate ICT lol.

I have ICT4 tomorrow and pretty much bricking it now. Need a B really to maintain my overall A.
