same thing with me, i got F583 on the morning and ICT after :frown: i'm guessing your with WJEC for ICT then. I know we're here to post about f583, but just to say the A2 exam for ICT is piss easy compared to other A2 exams. Just memorize what they say on the mark scheme because they mostly ask the same questions in every exam but in a different format..... you should do well if you revised the important topics.

Yeah I know even content wise its horrid! I did F585 in Jan and did good but in these F583 papers i'm not even getting a D. It's like the essays are so awkwardly worded urghhhh.

Have you got the F583 January 2013 paper by any chance? Would be great if you could post it up please.

Its not the quantity in this exam that's a lot, it the awkward understanding of the questions which is difficult to understand.

I hate this exam. This is the 3rd time me retaking it and I can't seem to get a bloody B which is all I need. I just can't get my head around all the leisure markets and those funky looking diagrams. It's completely nuts!
If anyone wants to trade some marked essays then pm me. I've typed up a few essays which I got 20/20 for and I'll like a few more to look at.
Thanks

any predictions on Section B??
I'm 80-90% sure that there will be an essay: "Discuss the consequences of flexibility for the operation of labour markets in UK". Any once have an ideas for a structure of this essay?

there could be a question on the relationship between efficiency and market structure in leisure markets.
It's mentioned in the syllabus, but I'm not sure whether they have actually mentioned it before.
Its a possibility :smile:
