AQA ICT Info 3 Pre Release June 2011

Nooo, it's like at the bottum of the page where they say: "This letter is no way affiliated with... blah blah". All the legal stuff that has to by law, go on the bottum of the page. If this was removed then less paper would be needed... bit silly but...

Ah thank you very much! How did you do in the coursework section (info4)? i'm depending entirely on that to keep my overall grade high :P

My teacher won't say! She says they change so much it's not worth telling But I need an A overall in ICT So I'm terrified for tomorrow!

That sucks, a guy in my class got 68/70 in the coursework!! I need to get a high B in this paper to get a B overall.

what are info 3 UMS boundaries normally like?, i need 70/120 to get an A, anyone guess what that is in raw marks(prediction or based on previous papers)

That sucks, a guy in my class got 68/70 in the coursework!! I need to get a high B in this paper to get a B overall.

68/70?! Good on him And I'm aiming for an A, all the past papers I've done though have always had one question I can never do I really hate the long essay ones...so hoping they only have the one

On the analysis (attached if wanted) it says 'Organisational structure – span of control etc ……. How would changes in working practice (mentioned in the case study) affect this?' --- How would the structure affect and organisation trying to be green or the enviroment?

Anyone know how the government could assist the move to green ICT? ...Apart from removing disclaimers at the end of e-mails..hahaa

There's only 3 past papers right?

6. “With ICT accounting for 15% of the UK’s office energy consumption”
Is ICT part of the problem, or part of the solution?
Discuss (8 marks) (use essay format)

Could someone help me out with this question? I didn't really understand how to answer this one :/ So far the notes I've got are;

+ ICT means there is significantly less paper use (letters, forms, storage)
+ ICT can be developed to be more energy efficient
+ Many organisations can benefit financially and gain a better reputation by reducing their carbon footprint
+ ICT can decrease the amount of CO2 emissions, less car journeys due to teleworking
+ & - Just-in-time manufacturing? Use of ICT, no need to store as much but requires more journeys therefore more CO2 and more use of ICT
this is not nessecarily the case as this just in time may make it so that they limit the number if there are a few products as they arent jsut re-stocking a little amount, they will be restocking alot if that makes sense

+ & - E-commerce, may require a bigger server to store and process customer details and orders (more processing = more energy consumption) However, means customers will make less journeys (fewer delivery vehicles to all customer journeys)
- ICT requires alot of electricity, many leave laptops on hibernate or put screen-savers
- ICT disposal may not be done correctly and produce 50m tons of e-waste

That sucks, a guy in my class got 68/70 in the coursework!! I need to get a high B in this paper to get a B overall.

Jan 10 - 70/120 was 51 raw marks
June 10- 70/120 was 52 raw marks
Jan 11- 70/120 was 59 raw marks

I guess to be safe aim for 51 - 62/63 raw marks out of 100

youve got a well descent essay for the 8 marks, just expand on a couple of the points i.e. the first one you could mention just waste as email reduce paper waste. and by refilling ink cartirgides there is no need to replace them therefore there will be less waste that way x

where did you find these i wanna inspect the grade boundaries closely x
