I wrote stuff like the issues with testing with all types of user, all types of software and hardware etc. Don't think that's right though How bout you?

i wrote things like its expensive? time consuming? thats why you should buy package systems because its already been tested blah blah blah ??

for the first couple of 4 marks questions, the third bit where it says 'how would it help save cost', on each of them i wrote 'because it saves energy, it will help to save costs'

I find it funny how all of the revision topics we had covered since September had absolutely nothing to do with the exam questions. It was just all of the crap from the pre-release, wtf man?

I know right that exam was a bitch roll on low grade boundaries!

The testing issues one I went on about it taking a lo time and different testing and users should be involved which further complicates time and increases costs and how in a large system many people with great knowledge will be needed which will cost even more.... :-/

The question like school/college wtf... The question about initiatives .... Wtf.... Just the exam in general.... Wtf....

Liked the last question just ran out of time hope I put the right quality stuff in did 3 pages so let us hope....
