I think I got 70/80 in practical 1, 30/80 in practical 2 (cannot do HTML) so how many do you think I need to get in the theory for the B?

Where did you find the specimen papers? well what my teacher said that they are trying to make the papers a little harder-.- but the grade boundaries should be quite nice for theory.... but nonetheless I'm a bit worried for it ahaha

I hope it's easy like the other papers seem to be, although if we get questions like this specimen paper for 2016 then I will fail because we haven't learnt most things on it :frown:

Yeah... I agree with you, like for the excel part so super easy.... there wasn't any nested ifs or anything like that!! However, if the theory is hard then the grade boundaries would be pretty low?

Thankyou!!! Yeah don't worry, fingers crossed we won't get questions like that either because we've never been taught quite a lot of that stuff... like what the heck is a RFID chip:') :eek:

Do you know if there is anything on the internet that has like a checklist for what we need to know for the exam?

Yeah it was a different layout to normal :angry:

I'm not sure how I did what file format did you choose? And how well do you think you did?

It was so annoying!! No one in my class knew what to put so we put database/table.... what about you? And overall it was fine- that question about James though!! :angry:
