B061 ict ocr 18/05/2016 exam

Original post by LaibaTrq

That's what I am saying!!!
Wow, you've gotten two A*'s in your coursework?! That's great!!!
How do you know the grade boundaries?
For B062, I had gotten 54/60
For B064, I had gotten 47/60
What grade would that be overall??

I have just been doing past papers and have covered very little of the content. I don't know whether I should be scared or not! But to be fair, I have been getting about an A on the past papers, so maybe it will go well?

Your first coursework (54/60) would be equivalent to an A*.
The second coursework (47/60) is equivalent to a B - one mark off an A.
Overall your coursework would be equivalent to 101/120 - A.

My courseworks are:
57/60 - A* (First coursework) - Unofficial
and
57/60 - A* (Second coursework) - Unofficial

Overall my coursework is:
114/120 - A*. - Unofficial

The grade boundaries are:
36/60 - C (Individual)
OR
72/120 - C (Combined)

42/60 - B (Individual)
OR
84/120 - B (Combined)

48/60 - A (Individual)
OR
96/120 - A (Combined)

54/60 - A* (Individual)
OR
108/120 - A* (Combined).

I don't know what coursework you did but I did "Sam's Custom Built Computers" and "Theme Park Website". I don't think the grade boundaries would differ too much anyway.

All of these grade boundaries are according to my teacher and they are the same for the exams. I don't think they would or even should change these boundaries.

The boundaries really don't work like that. You've gone off base UMS and the exam has NEVER gone off the base UMS for Raw marks. It's hard to explain but all I can say is that it's lower than you think (My mum used to work for AQA, she used to examine FP1 and explained it all to me)

Alright. Well, if it's lower then that's good!

Hi everyone. Hope all your exams are going well and I hope the B061 exam went well too.

Personally, I think I didn't do well. I made some silly errors!

How is everyone revising B063, is everyone just using the zigzag materials specifically for B063. Any thoughts ideas on questions that may come up?

Yh, b061 was hard Imo, however b063 was much more manageable. What did you get for the ways to view performance on the website?

For that one I wrote something about being able to analyse/view data using graphs eg line graphs and I think I said something about viewing performance in tables on the website. I think I flopped that question lol. What did you write?

I wrote the same exact thing as you. My teacher said that for the graphs bit we will probably get marks but he is not sure about the rest.

Ahh okay cool, do you remember how many marks that question was worth?

I believe it was four, one for identifying and one for explaining for each suggestion

Can't just be me who thought B061 was really hard? B063 seemed quite easy though but I wouldn't be surprised if I made loads of mistakes. As far as coursework, what did you all get? I did the highest in my year group and mine wasn't all that impressive.
