WJEC AS ICT Exam 6th June 2016

There will be a few oddball marks without a doubt ie: 2-5 marks worth of some unfamiliar question:

Summer 2015 - Game playing device HCI
Summer 2014 - Advantages/Disadvantages of CAD,,, absolute cell referencing
Winter 2014 - Loyalty Cards

are just a few examples, there has been a pattern of something new appearing each time.

Guess I'm lucky to have an excellent teacher who is very conscientious and not a lazy **** like your teacher and school's management in general seems to be.

The only option realistically at this point is for you to give it a go but know that you will probably need to resit. Next time, you have the knowledge that you must learn the mark schemes and you must produce your own spreadsheet. I'll provide you with a coursework exemplar later when Im on my computer.

To be fair, I would have thought that your teacher will get their ass kicked by management for doing this to a whole class. How long has this 'teacher' been dragging people through the qualification on E's and U's?

It is a shame that you have been failed and let down by those who are supposed to help you to succeed.

Can someone please write an exemplar answer to "There are financial costs involved in getting good quality information. State two other costs and, giving a different example for each show how these costs can arise"
Not sure how to answer it, mark scheme confusing me.
Thanks

Money - Data Entry/Collection, to employ staff in order to collect the actual data for the company, for example creating, designing data collection sheets.

Time - Data Processing, the use of time to actually check the entered data and process the results of them for example, new hardware/software has to be written or purchased in order to allow results to be created.

to be honest just listing the mark scheme wont get you any marks , you just have to make full sentences using the mark scheme and you will be fine the examiners are so lazy its so weird man

Any idea on how to answer the question i asked up there mate?

Is IT most of your guys most important subject?

Is IT most of your guys most important subject?

Right. There are three distinct costs associated with obtaining good quality information:

- Financial (excluded by the question)
- Time
- Human Resources

Answer I would give:

There is a time cost(1) associated with obtaining good quality information in the Data Entry stage. For example, it can take a lot of time for the collected data to be in-putted to the computer system so that it is ready for processing. For many organisations, time is a precious resource.

Additionally, there is a human resource cost(1) surrounding the obtaining of good quality information in the Data Collection stage. For example, staff must be tasked with distributing and recollecting the data collection sheets. Staff may also be needed to carry out interviews etc. All of this makes human resources less available for other tasks.

See this to make it easier to see what could come up, I also think learning could come up, but home entertainment could also easily come up. Revising from mark schemes is the way forward! All the best.

Does anyone know how to structure the question 8 on different uses for Teaching and Learning as the mark scheme is not very helpful. cheers

What year is it from?
