We were given a sheet from Edexcel that had updated things we need to know and these were the topics that were in it- our teacher said they've probably been given to us for a reason

No not really imo, I think we just need to know advantages and disadvantages

Modular: Advantages- less waste, cheaper repairs, enhanced personalizing -- Disadvantages- expensive to buy add ons, may be unattractive, parts could go missing

All in one: Advantages- save space, reduced power consumption, ease of use, more visually appealing -- Disadvantages- less powerful, can't upgrade internal components, not portable, lack of space

etc...

Well, legal ethical and moral responsibilities probably won't come up because that was in last years paper but I do reckon we will get one about health and safety issues with gaming -- not too sure on that one though

I'm not sure sorry
I got 73/80 for my coursework, and apparently I need 31/80 in tomorrows exam to get an A* overall, so if 104/160 was an A*, maybe it will go down in a certain amount?

So say you got 50/80 in coursework (lowest B) , then I guess you need 24/80

BUT I'm not sure, don't take my word for it

EDIT: what I said before seems completely incorrect - sorry I have no idea
(edited 7 years ago)
youll definitely get above a B overall as the grade boundaries are amazingly low
I got 70/80 on the coursework, what would I need in the exam for an A*?
oh really thats what i got which is a high A-A*

so i guess we need to get at least a high A
